Trying download free update but am taking to store to purchase for $20. Son says friends who also own Minecraft via the disc purchase, have just received the free updates. Help!

Hi, if you have the Minecraft Xbox One disc version then sadly that offer of a free upgrade to the Better together version no longer applies and you will need to buy Minecraft again.

Q: How long will the Better Together Update be available as a free download to players who own the console version of the game?

A: Owners of the disc version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will have until January 30th 2018 to have played Minecraft for five or more hours in the past 12 months OR purchased a DLC Pack. There is no cutoff for digital Minecraft: Xbox One Edition owners.

You may receive it later but you should contact
Xbox Support for assistance if you are not able to get it.

Hi
EightBlock62518,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums. Unfortunately the free Better Together upgrade for owners of Minecraft Xbox One edition has passed. The deadline was January 30th, 2018. Here is a quote from

Mojang's Better Together Update FAQ for Xbox console users:

"Q: I own Minecraft: Xbox One Edition on disc. Will I be able to get the Better Together Update for free?

A: If you own Minecraft: Xbox One Edition on disc and have played for at least 5 hours in the past 12 months or bought DLC, you’ll be able to upgrade to Minecraft for free, until January 30th 2018. If you haven’t played in the past 12 months, you can play
five hours or purchase DLC before January 30th 2018 to unlock your upgrade."

Apologies but any updates your son's friends received were probably just a general update for the game and they already had the free upgrade or they had purchased the upgrade.

I hope this helps!

Thank you foe the information, XBF Diego M!

If you're trying to upgrade the disc version then that is correct. It's currently only free to users who own it digitally.
