Cross-play between Windows Bedrock 26.11 and PlayStation Bedrock 26.10 fails with Blaze / InitialConnection-44. PlayStation reports 26.10 as the latest version available, while Mojang’s published notes indicate 26.11 is a Windows-only hotfix. Steps to reproduce: launch Bedrock on Windows 26.11 and PlayStation 26.10, open a multiplayer world on one device, attempt to join from the other, observe connection failure with Blaze / InitialConnection-44. Please confirm whether current platform versions are intended to be cross-compatible.
