Step by step

  1. Enable crossplay.
  2. Synchronize the Switch 2 clock automatically.
  3. Enter the host’s live join code.
  4. Restart after version updates.

Why players get stuck here

A correct code can still fail when system time is wrong or one platform has not installed the current patch.

Verify it before moving on

Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
