About this app

Join your favorite Minecraft Bedrock servers straight from your console.

Consoles like Xbox and PlayStation only show the official Minecraft servers — joining a community Bedrock server usually means network tricks, DNS changes, or long tutorials. BridgePlay does it from your phone: save your Bedrock server address, tap Activate, and that server shows up inside Minecraft on your console as a LAN world under Play → Worlds. No console network settings, no router setup, no account.

HOW BRIDGEPLAY WORKS
1. Save your Minecraft Bedrock server address (works great with Aternos and any public Bedrock server). You can also paste a server a friend shared with you.
2. Tap Activate — BridgePlay makes that server visible on your WiFi as a LAN game.
3. Open Minecraft on your Xbox or PlayStation and find it under Play → Worlds.

NEW: JOIN DIRECTLY (BETA)
Turn it on for a server and your console goes straight to that server: then you can close BridgePlay and keep playing. If Minecraft just updated and it doesn't work yet, BridgePlay uses the usual connection, with nothing for you to do.

READY FOR MINECRAFT 26.60
Consoles on the new Minecraft version (PS5, PS4 and Xbox) find your server and join directly, if the server already supports it. Earlier versions keep working as always.

WHY PLAYERS USE BRIDGEPLAY
• Join Bedrock servers on console without changing any network settings.
• No ads interrupt your connection: you never have to watch a video to play.
• See if your server is online before you connect, with its ping and players. If your Aternos server is off, BridgePlay tells you.
• Share a server with friends and paste it without typing the address.
• Save as many servers as you want. No accounts, no sign-up: everything stays on your phone.
• Step-by-step help for Xbox and PlayStation, plus built-in diagnostics if a server doesn't appear.
• Plain-language status and errors: the app tells you what happened and what to do.

WORKS WITH
• Minecraft Bedrock servers (the console, mobile, and Windows edition).
• Java servers that let Bedrock players join through Geyser (crossplay), for example on Aternos.
• Xbox and PlayStation running Minecraft Bedrock.
• Community and public Bedrock servers, including free hosts like Aternos.

FREE TO PLAY, PREMIUM IF YOU WANT MORE
Connecting to your Bedrock servers is free and always will be, in both modes. Premium is a one-time purchase that removes ads and unlocks unlimited favorites and history.

REQUIREMENTS
• Your phone and your console must be on the same WiFi network.
• With the usual connection, keep BridgePlay running while you play (you can leave the app, just don't close it). With Join directly you can close it after joining.
• Your console plays Minecraft Bedrock (the Xbox and PlayStation version). BridgePlay can't be used to play Minecraft Java Edition.
• Doesn't work on Nintendo Switch.

BridgePlay is the easy bridge between your phone and your console for Minecraft Bedrock multiplayer.
