Why is minecraft legacy not on Xbox one?

I like playing older versions of Minecraft, but more specifically Minecraft: Legacy edition. I want to purchase a copy of Minecraft: Xbox One edition for my Xbox Series X console. Will I be able to play the legacy version, or be forced to play Bedrock?

Thanks.

Mojang studios has removed the game from the store due to long time ago it was updated to the Bedrock edition (the current version)

Users who already have the legacy edition can play the game.
Even you can get the game from a third party store (or a redeemable code) and download it to your console, but directly from the Microsoft Store is not possible to get the game

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Exopensivero, I did a quick search regarding the usa issue and found something that might explain why having two versions of Minecraft on your console.

"There is Minecraft: Xbox One Edition (Legacy Console) and Minecraft for Xbox One (Bedrock). Both are very different. Legacy Console cannot be played on your PC."

Yes.

Both Minecraft additions on the Xbox One can be installed at the same time. Just install the legacy version and follow the process in the link from @McDaddyTree.

There is no need to delete the new Minecraft from your console.

Hope that helps.

You can only transfer your world from Minecraft 360 Edition to Minecraft One Edition to (new) Minecraft.

Which Minecraft version do you use? For example, Minecraft 360 Edition in (new) Minecraft is not possible.

Only Minecraft 360 Edition to Minecraft One Edition and Minecraft One Edition to
(new) Minecraft

Minecraft 360 Edition and Minecraft One Edition are out of support and now the Legacy Editions. New Minecraft is the Bedrock Edition
