This information comes from a PressFire interview with Mojang CEO Jonas Märtensson…

- We’re tying everything together with Xbox Live. So you log in with Xbox Live …

- Even on Switch?

- Yes. (Laughs) That’s pretty unique as well! But everyone that’s in on this, all the platform holders, have been pretty pragmatic and understanding of that what we’re trying to do is create a good experience for the players. We needed a good system to connect everyone, and Xbox Live is a good system.

One thing about this too is the online prices are all different, $60 on Xbox One, $20 on Switch and Free on Mobile/PC.

Wonder if that will effect which platforms the masses will more likely play on.

So will that count for Xbox Live monthly active users?

Lol, I'd laugh so much if they do. That was probably their plan all along.

Okay, so does that mean I need a gold account, or just a generic live account to log into.

hahahhaahah.... what?

I imagine Xbox asking for cross play, and telling Sony "just get your users to make a xbox live account".
Sony goes "f*** that".
