If I have Minecraft on PlayStation, can I get Java Edition on PC?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Eternal

The short answer is nope, due to the offer required that you have PC Bedrock edition, any other Bedrock edition was not eligible for this offer

Here's the official announcement about this:

If you want Java edition, right now there's a bundle for $30, this includes both Java and Bedrock edition on PC, so you're going to get both games for the same price:

Hope everything's more clear now, but if you have further questions feel free to ask

Hi Victor. I don’t know how you played Java in the past. Maybe it was via game pass.
But if the game doesn’t appear purchased in your order history, it means that you don’t know it.

About the Xbox edition, yes. It’s bedrock, but it’s the Bedrock for Xbox, not Windows

The free Java edition was granted to the people who purchased Bedrock for windows.
Any other platform is not eligible, only PC (and the opposite if you owned Java)

“I have Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Switch/Mobile/PlayStation/another platform besides PC, Mac or Linux. Do I get Java Edition for free?

Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC is only for the PC, Mac, and Linux platforms at the moment. This offer does not apply to consoles or other versions of Minecraft.”

I bought Java Edition on 24 May 2022. But I refunded it.

I bought the Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC (the Bundle, released two days ago) on Minecraft official website (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-pc). on 8 June 2022.

I have uninstalled the Minecraft Launcher and reinstalled it.

Hello, NotDanieL. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

This offer is available if you own Minecraft Java or Minecraft for Windows. This gives you the other version for free. So if you own Java Edition, you get Minecraft for Windows (and vice-versa).

Now if you own only Minecraft Bedrock for other platforms than PC (Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation) you will not be able to get Java.

The offer page is:

If you have any question, please let me know.

Hi there Aracely, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

It's really strange to me that your friend was given the Java Edition of Minecraft on PC while having only Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, as this is not possible.

In the link you shared, if you scroll down a bit on the website, specifically in the Frequently Asked Questions section, you will find the following information that I will quote:

"I HAVE MINECRAFT BEDROCK EDITION ON SWITCH/MOBILE/PLAYSTATION/ANOTHER PLATFORM BESIDES PC, MAC OR LINUX. DO I GET JAVA EDITION FOR FREE?

Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC is only for the PC, Mac, and Linux platforms at the moment. This offer does not apply to consoles or other versions of Minecraft."

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

As you can see, this does not apply if you have Minecraft Bedrock for other devices like consoles. The offer only applies if you have Minecraft Bedrock for PC. So, as I mentioned earlier, I find it strange.

Are you sure that your friend doesn't have Game Pass or didn't purchase the game previously? There must be an explanation because with the PS4 version of the game, your friend couldn't have received Minecraft Java on PC.

Best regards.
