Confirmed information
Sources and evidence limits
Minecraft Dungeons II also supports solo play. Mojang confirms matchmaking and party codes, so a group does not have to be limited to a fixed friends list.

Choose your hero mode before joining
Mojang’s September 29 rules separate online and offline modes. Review the dedicated decision guide before creating a co-op hero or relying on disconnected handheld play.

Accounts and online subscriptions
Mojang’s terms require a platform-specific online subscription for console online co-op; PlayStation lists PS Plus. For online hero progression, Mojang describes platform-account sign-in and linking platform accounts to the same Microsoft account for continuation on another platform. This does not establish offline-hero conversion.

Inventory and catching up
Xbox Wire describes holding up on the D-pad to open a compact inventory so couch players can manage items simultaneously. Mojang also describes teleporting to a nearby friend. Exact remapped controls and teleport restrictions need release verification.

Online progression and session hosting
Mojang says online hero data is stored on its backend. Where supported, signing into your platform account on another device continues the hero; linking platform accounts to the same Microsoft account supports cross-platform continuation. Online sessions use dedicated servers selected according to party members’ ping. Offline transfer and guest quest credit remain unconfirmed.
