Minecraft better together update

Hi there Goldmormon32, thanks for reaching out.

The Minecraft team addressed the Minecraft Better Together Update for Nintendo Switch within the

Minecraft Better Together FAQ under "Why isn't the Better Together Update available for Nintendo Switch yet?".

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for keeping us updated with your replies. If the version of Minecraft you're using on disc is the Minecraft: Xbox One edition, then to update to the new Minecraft (Better Together), you'll need to purchase the game as it is a wholly different version.
The free update from Minecraft: Xbox One edition to the new Minecraft edition (Better Together) ended on January 30th 2018.

I hope that this information helps out. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hey Xbox Gamer,

Minecraft crossplay is only available to devices with the "Better Together" version of the game. The Xbox 360's version of Minecraft does not have this feature. For more information on this, please visit our

Minecraft "Better Together" update article.

I have the same issue here. Seems a bit unfair that when you paid for a game you need to pay again for updates :S.

I also created a support ticket for this and they said to keep on playing....

WOnder if more people have this issue or that it did work for someone with the disc version

Check the games ready to install section.

That's the problem, it's not there for me.

Try playing it for five hours have read it works but don't quote me on that. Also you have a couple of months to get it.
