Yes, Minecraft Dungeons II is on Game Pass. Minecraft Dungeons II (Minecraft Dungeons 2) is on PC (Steam and Xbox app), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. It is included with Game Pass, supports Xbox Play Anywhere, and lets up to four players team up with couch, online or mixed co-op. Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer.

Platforms

Per Xbox Wire and the store pages:

PlatformNotes
Windows PC (Steam)Windows only; see system requirements
Windows PC (Xbox app / Microsoft Store)Xbox lists PC support
Xbox Series X|SIncluded with Game Pass
PlayStation 5Listed by Xbox Wire
Nintendo Switch and Switch 2Listed by Xbox Wire

We found no source listing Xbox One, macOS or Linux. Steam lists Windows as the only supported OS, and Mojang’s Oct 2 update says it should now be playable on Steam Deck (with some issues); see Steam Deck and Linux.

Original Nintendo Switch (Switch 1)

Yes, there is a version for the original Switch. Nintendo UK has separate Minecraft Dungeons II pages for Nintendo Switch download software and for Nintendo Switch 2, and the Nintendo of America page lists estimated file sizes for both Nintendo Switch (6.8 GB) and Nintendo Switch 2 (6 GB). Nintendo’s page also lists TV, tabletop and handheld modes and 1-4 players on one system or online, with Nintendo Switch Online needed for online play.

Nintendo and Mojang have not published frame rate or resolution targets that we found, so treat performance as player reports. In one Reddit thread, a player who bought it on Switch 1 and played offline said it ran “so far so good”, a second said it seems very similar to the first game, and a third called it “very playable and smooth in most areas”. Another player in that thread had a “log in failed” message on the title screen that went away after restarting the console. Other Switch 1 owners report problems accessing some DLC items after linking a Microsoft account, and that Joy-Con play in local co-op uses different controls from the first game. We found no measured frame rates for Switch 1 or Switch 2.

If sign-in or account linking fails, see console sign-in stuck and pre-order bonus not received.

Game Pass

Xbox states the game is included with Game Pass, meaning subscribers can play the standard game without buying it. Online multiplayer on Xbox consoles has its own platform requirements; check your plan on the Xbox page. The Deluxe cosmetics and DLC are sold separately unless a bundle says otherwise. Prices are on the release time and price page.

Xbox Play Anywhere

Xbox Wire says the game supports Xbox Play Anywhere, which lets you buy once and play on Xbox console and Xbox PC. That applies to Xbox and Microsoft Store purchases, not to a Steam key.

Crossplay and co-op

Cross-progression

Mojang’s co-op article says hero data is stored online in its backend, “so your progression isn’t tied to one specific device”, and that “Linking your platform accounts to the same Microsoft account will let you keep playing with the same hero.” Signing in with your own platform account on a friend’s device works “if the platform supports it”. This applies to online heroes; players report offline heroes cannot be moved. See cross platform and cross-progression and offline vs online hero.

Steam features and languages

Steam lists single-player, online co-op, shared or split-screen co-op, cross-platform multiplayer, Remote Play Together and Family Sharing, plus subtitle options, adjustable text size, color alternatives and custom volume controls. There are 17 supported languages, and English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese - Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Spanish - Latin America, Swedish and Traditional Chinese have full audio.
