Techinically, you only need the Xbox APP, not the real gaming thing, you CAN play on other worlds hosted by friends using the IP address, but u need Xbox account for REALMS and for the achievements, and to be invited to realms a friend must invite your gamertag that you will choose when you create a Xbox account (, via facebook, etc.). Hope this helped!
