I have a PC and my friend has a Ps4, we both want to play Minecraft, but does my friend need PS4 on the Ps4? Because he has to create an Xbox account anyway and you need an Xbox Acc to play with other platforms. So that actually has nothing to do with PSN, but with Xbox.
No, he needs PS +
in addition, the PS4 version is separate and can't interact with Bedrock versions
As far as I know you have to be online otherwise nothing works.
And to be able to use the online function via Ps 4 you need PS Plus.
This is no different with Xbox One, because you also need Xbox Live access to play online with others.
The only exception is the PC, there you do not have to pay any additional costs.
In addition, since they are DIFFERENT consoles, you need extra online access for each console… Just like you have to own the game for each console, because if you have it on Xbox One, you can't logically play the game because, as I said two different console systems are
Why can't you play together? Crossplay has been around recently, it would work
However, with the Windows 10 edition.
No, PS plus is required and Cross Play is possible with the Windows 10 edition also with the PC.
And yes, this is also possible with the Xbox.
Mh, right, Bedrock should come to the PS4. You still have to pay, see

The Windows 10 edition is also Bedrock…
And cross play is possible.
Yes, I corrected myself… And now?
Why so insulted?
I only corrected you, no reason to react so negatively.
I'm not offended at all, just the whole thing was unnecessary. You improved me, I improved you, and you repeat what I wrote
For online gaming you need PS Plus / Xbox Live gold. With one exception, you can also play together via Wlan / LAN connection with PC because Minecraft Bedrock comes from MCPE, which back then, like now, still supports Wi-Fi Multiplayer.
With PS4 I unfortunately do not know if Wi-Fi multiplayer works, a buddy and I wanted to play together via Wi-Fi, but his PS4 refused the Wi-Fi connection to my cell phone because the data from my cell phone and therefore a correct connection was not possible, Only when I had the data back on did his PS4 want to connect to my cell phone hotspot. Maybe the Wi-Fi device for the PS4 needs internet for the console to save the Wi-Fi network, and then you can maybe play together without a network.
This works via Wi-Fi without an Xbox live gold / Nintendo online subscription, in fact you can play together via Wi-Fi without a network cell phone, PC, Xbox and switch. Via LAN only Xbox PC and switch (via LAN adapter)
You have to test PS4.
with PC and cell phone no xbox live account is necessary if you want to play via Wi-Fi or LAN.
