If your device is no longer supported for Minecraft Bedrock Edition, you will not be able to play the game on that device. However, if you and your friends have the same version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition installed on supported devices, you can still play multiplayer together.
: All players must have the same version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition to play together. This means if your friends are using a version that is different from yours, even if they have a supported device, you will not be able to join their games35.
: Minecraft Bedrock Edition allows for cross-platform multiplayer, meaning players on different devices (like Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile) can join the same game as long as they are using the same version of the game25.
: To play multiplayer, all participants need to have an Xbox Live account (Microsoft account) for friend invitations and server access25.
In summary, while you cannot play on an unsupported device, you can still enjoy multiplayer gaming with friends who have the same version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition on their supported devices.
