Xbox One Minecraft Edition, full $20 even if you purchased the xbox 360 version?

I know there used to be a deal that it was down to $5 if you purchased it, but I was just told by a member of microsoft the deal is expired. Is this true?

Yes, the upgrade offer expired in February. If you want the Xbox One version you would have to pay the $20 or wait for it to go on sale.

Hi there,

Have you hard reset your Xbox and power cycled it to see if Minecraft on Xbox One received an update as well?

I noticed this note on the Mojang support page for transferring worlds on Xbox Consoles: "Please note:
It’s not possible to transfer a world directly from Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition to the new version of Minecraft for Xbox One. To do this, you will need to first transfer the world to Xbox One Edition
and then to the new version of Minecraft."

If I'm not mistaken Minecraft Xbox One Edition was upgraded to the new version of Minecraft with the BTU but based on that note you would have to upload the worlds to the Xbox One edition and then to the newest version of Minecraft on Xbox One. I'm not sure
if this has anything to do with the issue but I figured it was worth noting.

Yes, both my Xbox 360 and Xbox One are fully updated. Minecraft Xbox One Edition or Legacy Edition and the Xbox one Better Together Edition are not the same. The BTU is an inferior version of Xbox One Minecraft Edition based off of the Pocket Edition for
phone. It has extreme lag, chaotic menu system and broken redstone functions. I run Xbox One Edition not the BTU. So transferring to the new version of Minecraft for Xbox One has no relevance to me. They even state you need to transfer it to the Xbox One Edition
(the version I use) first which you can do. But once it is transferred to that edition it can not be used on that same edition.

Hey Kc Krad,

Thank you for reaching out. We understand you are having some difficulties transferring a saved world from your 360 version of Minecraft unto your Xbox One edition. You mentioned a trial screen indicating your current profile might not own the full game.
Note, even though the servers for the Xbox One edition of Minecraft are running, the game has been replaced in the store by the new version of
Minecraft. This means the Xbox One Edition is no longer available for purchase. For more information feel free to check out

Mojang's world transfer page. Hope this clarifies a few things!

Hi Lisha,

Thank you for contacting the forums. Which version of Minecraft are you talking about buy add-ons from? There are 3 separate versions of Minecraft (Minecraft, Minecraft Xbox One Edition and Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition). I would recommend you to buy Xbox 360
add-ons through the Xbox 360 marketplace if you specifically want add-ons on your son's Xbox 360.
