Why doesn't Minecraft : Xbox One Edition have any new update?

The older Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported with new features and will not be receiving any updates or new DLC in the future, but you can continue to play Minecraft: Xbox One Edition if you wish.

Hi Max,

The
Minecraft Fall 2017 update united all Minecraft device versions and added a number of enhancements, the biggest one being that you can now enjoy Realms, Marketplace, and online play on your Xbox One console. This version is now known as “Minecraft” on the
Xbox One. The new Minecraft comes packed with newer features and capabilities and is where all future updates and features will appear. The older Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported with new features and will not be receiving any updates
or new DLC in the future, but you can continue to play Minecraft: Xbox One Edition if you wish without updating.

If you indeed own the digital version, there was
no cutoff to update to the new version for Minecraft which should appear in the Updates section of the Ready to Install list if you are connected to Xbox Live. I suggest checking your

Microsoft Account order history to confirm the digital purchase of Minecraft Xbox One Edition.

In this case, either you played the game using the physical disc and never updated to Minecraft, or the game was purchase on a different account which is why it is asking you to buy Minecraft after uninstalling.

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.

The Xbox 360 and the Xbox One (the one labeled Xbox One Edition) Versions of Minecraft are not actually support with updates at all since around the update they added llamas a few years ago. If you've been looking for/hearing about this new update of Minecraft
its only available on Bedrock editions (Windows 10 variants) and the Java versions of Minecraft, so "new" Minecraft only. Don't worry though, when you upgrade to an Xbox One if you owned Minecraft at any point you get the newest version for free. (I think.)

I have Minecraft, but for some reason, it hasn't updated to have the Minecraft Village and Pillage update, or any update after that. Has it not come to Xbox One yet, or is there a different problem?

If it says xbox one edition on the splash screen you are not on the supported bedrock edition
