Original article [Sat 1st May, 2021 06:55 BST]: Mojang's dungeon-crawler Minecraft Dungeons will be getting a new update next week that allows players to keep grinding and levelling up across every device they own.

Yes, as of 5th May, there'll finally be cloud save support - meaning you can keep playing your same Minecraft Dungeons save on any device that has this game on it (that includes the Nintendo Switch).

This update follows on from cross-platform play, which was added to Minecraft Dungeons last November. This feature allows you to play the game with friends on PlayStation, Xbox and even Windows.
