What's Up with the New Play Screen in Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

-

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition since around 2019 or 2020, but since the latest update to version 1.21.51, I’m really struggling to understand the new Play Screen. I want to join my friends in their worlds, but I can’t seem to find a way to do that. Is there also a way to disable this new Play Screen? Right now, I’m on version 1.21.62.

Have you checked the “Friends” button in the top right corner? That’s usually where you find your friends’ worlds.

Yeah, but honestly, it feels pretty rough. I can only join my friends’ worlds and I’m not sure how they even join games that aren’t theirs.

CraftyCat22 -

Exactly! I just want to hop into random worlds without waiting for a friend to be online.
