  1. I can’t purchase Minecraft preview even though I have a digital copy of Minecraft


    I’m asking this question again because someone’s answer to my last attempt was irrelevant to the question, so just in case; I don’t want insider, I do want Minecraft Preview.

    I got an Xbox one with Minecraft a long time ago. When the next version of Minecraft was released I was given it for free because I had a copy of Minecraft Xbox one edition. Then I sold my Xbox one and got an Xbox series s. So I had a digital copy of Minecraft on my Xbox series s. Then I bought the game pass for a month and played Minecraft preview while I had it. After it ended I wanted to play the beta version of the update. However when I try and buy it, I get two options; buy the game pass or “not currently available”.

    I just want to try out vibrant visuals, please help.

    :)

    I’m not trying to get insider, I don’t even know what that is. I’m just trying to get “Minecraft preview” which is supposed to be available to people with a digital copy of Minecraft like myself. Thank you for trying to help.

    Why is MS buying Mojang?

    Personally I would queue because I like physical copies. Not sold on the brilliance of digital quite yet.

    Fair points though Digital, I just don't see that Minecraft has that draw that people want to think it has. Would Minecraft really pull people to buy a Surface for example when it has been on competing devices before the Surface even came out.

    People become 'loyal' because they've bought into the system. Are those folk really going to give up their purchases from the Apple App Store of Play Marketplace, which could include Minecraft, and the ability to bring those purchases across to their next
    device just because a Surface has Minecraft included on it.

    I really don't see Minecraft having any sort of 'system seller' pull. Certainly not enough to make people abandon their current digital ecosystem.

    Gamebreaking minecraft glitch

    No lucky this is only for Minecraft, There is no error code though. What's happening is, the game loads up and when it get to the menu, it freezes right there after about a second. I have used the disc on another console to see if that was the problem and
    it was not. I even purchased a digital copy because I thought maybe it was my disc. That's about all the information I have at the moment.
