Minecraft preview unavailable

oldmanwillkers9 · May 2, 2025

Minecraft preview says it has two options in the store. Either to pay for game pass or “Currently not available” option, plus I I went to Xbox insider hub and it’s not there. I own the digital copy of Minecraft, even Minecraft Xbox edition and I am signed into Microsoft. I have also installed the game from the Xbox app but still want me to buy.

I’ve uninstalled Minecraft and reinstalled but to no avail. I literally have done everything. My question, I’ve been trying to ask in another post but never got a response back. Is Minecraft preview just not available right now? Or am I just really really unlucky? Because it does say you can just download the game if you buy. I’ve owned Minecraft since Xbox 360 Xbox one and Xbox S

Hi oldmanwillkers9, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

OldmanWillkers9, as is the nature of all preview options, are used to test functions and features that may or may not be included in the final retail version of the game or application, and these preview editions are not permanent and may be withdrawn by the game publisher at any time.

In the case of the preview version of the Minecraft game, it is not available at least for the moment for download.

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time within the possible apologizing in advance for any delay in response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

Can confirm the above; I'm in the preview program and it was unavailable through the Xbox itself. Downloaded immediately from the website though.

Hello,

Currently, Ark: Survival Evolved is part of Xbox Games Preview, which means that the game can only be downloaded in regions in which the Games Preview programme is available. Unfortunately, Games Preview is currently unavailable in the Netherlands, so you
will be unable to download Ark until either Games Preview comes to NL or Ark is released as a full game.

Sorry about this. I know this won't be the answer you wanted to hear.

Are any of your friends in the "preview program" and have minecraft dowloaded through the preview program? And the other does not? If that is the case whomever is in the preview program must get out of the minecraft beta or alpha, then download the regular
version. You cannot play together otherwise.
