Minecraft free update from DLC

Rantzin · Dec 27, 2018

Hi,

According to:

https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/better-together-faq

Q: What’s the deal with the five-hour requirement?

A: The five-hour requirement is designed to help us separate real accounts from fake ones. Owners of the disc version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will have to have played Minecraft for five or more hours in the past 12 months
OR purchased a DLC Pack. They have until January 30th 2018 to do this.

You shall get a free update of the game if you bought it before 30 January 2018, my son got the game and console at Christmas 2017 and started to play the game and then the console broke down the day after and we did not get a new
console until 5th of February which means that we was not able to play the game during this time. How do we get the free upgrade, since we should be part of the deal with the free upgrade?

I suppose any limited time offer or event that ended means it's gone for good for one's who did not get it in time. Those who did earn it gets to keep it.

Good day

As stated on the page, it was a promotion that ended on 31 January 2018.

Not sure if you will be able to get it for free now or if they are doing another one anytime soon.

Hey there Rantzin!

Unfortunately as it states there, that offer was only available before that date in January.

If you did not claim and download the new version of Minecraft, then you would have to buy the digital version off of the Xbox store. To my knowledge, there are no physical copies of the new Minecraft.

If you want, you can always try getting in contact with
Mojang directly, see if maybe they can verify the time played and could help you with that as well. There's no guarantee that they would give you a copy though.

Hope this information was helpful.

Thanks!

This is from the FAQ on the
Minecraft site.

Q: I own Minecraft: Xbox One Edition on disc. Will I be able to get the Better Together Update for free?

A: If you own Minecraft: Xbox One Edition on disc and have played for at least 5 hours in the past 12 months or bought DLC, you’ll be able to upgrade to Minecraft for free, until January 30th 2018. If you haven’t played in the past 12 months, you can play
five hours or purchase DLC before January 30th 2018 to unlock your upgrade.

If you own the digital downloaded version of the game, then you should still be able to get the updated version for free.
