While Mojang has promised to make cross-platform play available in a later update, it will not be available at game launch and no date has been set for when it will be released.

Even when Crossplay becomes available, you won't be able to move your save data from one platform to another.

Would they release this feature simultaneously with the jungle DLC? I mean, it's no fun to play all by myself.

It's time for you to buy a console, haha. I think the game and controls are specially built for the console.
