I’m playing Minecraft on a console, and I can’t figure out how to join my friend’s realm, how do I join a friend’s realm in Minecraft on PlayStation, Xbox or Switch?

Here's a general guide on how to join a friend's Realm on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch:

Make Sure You Have a Realm: Your friend needs to have an active Realm subscription.

Receive an Invite: Your friend should send you an invite to join their Realm. This can usually be done through the in-game friend list or messaging system.

Accept the Invite: Once you receive the invite, accept it. This will add the Realm to your list of Realms.

Join the Realm: From your Realm list, select your friend's Realm and choose the "Join" option.

Ensure both you and your friend have the latest version of Minecraft installed, as outdated versions can cause connection issues. A stable internet connection is essential for joining Realms, so check that your network is working properly. Additionally, confirm that your friend has configured the Realm's privacy settings to allow you to join. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Minecraft support for further assistance.
