The device, which took years to make, was released last week. Although it is not without teething problems—You can read some of these here—Most of the time it works, allowing players to jump into the same world and sync all their moves and progression.

If you want to install the mod, you will need the latest versions of any of the special edition or anniversary editionand then Head here to download.
