Expected behaviour
Successfully connect Minecraft on Xbox One to other Bedrock clients hosting multiplayer sessions on the same LAN. Account used to start Minecraft on Xbox One should not require an active Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Observed Behaviour
Xbox One cannot view details for, or connect to, in-progress sessions running on Windows 10, Android or the Bedrock dedicated server (Ubuntu).
Steps to reproduce
- Start a game on a non-Xbox One device ensuring appropriate multiplayer options are enabled. i.e. 'Multiplayer Game' and 'Visible to LAN Players' are both enabled
- Start Minecraft on Xbox One, select 'Play' and select the 'Friends' tab.
- See that there is no 'LAN Games' section or LAN games listed, however the counter on the 'Friends' tab shows '1'; acknowledging another game instance is running on the local network.
Additional information
Testing conducted with a brand new Xbox account (with default permissions and settings) to eliminate manually set account restrictions as the source of potential issues. No account on the Xbox One has an active Xbox Live Gold subscription.
