Thanks for posting!

Hey Lando,

Thanks for posting this up. This issue is being investigated by the appropriate teams, and we will post back with any updates we received. We understand the deadline has approached, but the appropriate teams are working to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your patience!

Hello, my name is Oskayra I am independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

Unfortunately, the deadline for migrating your Minecraft account to a Microsoft account with entitlement to Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition has passed. The migration process was open until May 10, 2023, and accounts that were not migrated by then are no longer eligible for the free Java Edition entitlement.

If you purchased Minecraft before the migration deadline, you will still be able to play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. However, you will no longer be able to claim a free copy of Minecraft: Java Edition.

If you are still interested in playing Minecraft: Java Edition, you will need to purchase it separately from the Microsoft Store.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thanks DC, didn't see that before. I guess I was just close to the deadline when I called then.

Yes, I am also having the same problem. Have played over 5 hours on the MInecraft: Xbox One Edition that I have on disc. Been about 2-3 weeks and haven't gotten a new download, update, or a notification. I'm just worrying because the deadline is tomorrow,
January 31st, and just want to know that I am eligible, but I do not mind getting the 'Better Together' version at a date after the deadline. Please update us when you can!
