Minecraft Upgrade

Hello!

I have bought the minecraft disc, after the initial release of the new version. I got some messages to upgrade, however I didn't get it for free on the store, thus I didn't buy it again.

Now the messages are even more constant, and they are stating that the game will stop receiving updates. I got WELL over the required 5 hours - I play mostly every night with my daughter.

How do I proceed in order to claim my free upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

:)

 

Minecraft Xbox One

You can upgrade Minecraft quite cheaply, but the rest you will need to sell and re-buy if you want the One versions.

 

Is XBOX ONE marketplace the same from XBOX 360?

Some games offer a free upgrade or reduced price to upgrade to the Xbox One but for the most part they use different programming so are not compatible.

Free Upgrade Games:

Destiny (until Jan 15)

CoD Advanced Warfare (I believe until March)

Free upgrades for already purchased DLC

Minecraft

Rocksmith

Pinball FX2

Reduced price for upgrade

Minecraft

 

The Minecraft upgrade for the Xbox One edition has expired, text from Minecraft “Better Together” update | Xbox & Windows Games

"If you own the disc version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and you have played for at least 5 hours or purchased an item between
September 2016 and September 2017, you will also receive a digital copy of Minecraft under Ready to install.
This offer is valid until January 31, 2018, after which time you will need to purchase a digital version of Minecraft."

It appears that you will need to purchase the new version, as the upgrade offer has ended.

 

Well, if that game disc was already deprecated by the time I bought it, I would expect the item to not be sold anymore. Either way, getting a lot of popups (and new popups after updates, so it's not the old popups) telling me "YOU CAN UPGRADE FOR FREE" is
also very misleading. When I click the upgrade, it does take me to a page selling "normal" minecraft, I don't see "better together" anywhere.

Thanks anyway, I guess!

EDIT: Today I just got a brand new button, in caps, telling me to upgrade for free. Definitely a new button, telling me it's free even though it apparently is not.
