It looks like Minecraft is becoming the first game to feature cross-play between various platforming including Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. This is all possible through Minecraft Realms. Minecraft Realms is an official subscription-based server hosting service that allows players to create and manage their own private Minecraft servers.

Will you use this feature? Will you get a server? I think I might try it and maybe start an ICXM.net playthrough series showcasing this ability. We’ll see.
