How do I access Minecraft realms?

To access Minecraft Realms, players will need to follow a few steps. First, they should launch the Minecraft game on their preferred platform, whether it is a PC, console, or mobile device. Once the game is open, players must sign in with their Microsoft account, as Realms requires an active account to manage subscriptions and settings. After signing in, players can navigate to the "Play" menu. Within this menu, there will be a "Realms" tab specifically for accessing existing realms or purchasing a new subscription. If a player wishes to join an existing realm, they will need an invitation from the realm owner, who can send this invitation via their Microsoft account. Players can then accept the invitation to join the realm. Should they wish to create their own realm, they can do so through the Realms tab by selecting the option to create a realm, which requires an active subscription. For further assistance or information about subscriptions, players may refer to the current web page for contact information.
