Minecraft: Xbox One Edition no longer available digitally

3.7
While the rollout of the Minecraft Better Together Update is being promoted as, well, and update to Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, it is actually a completely new Minecraft video game that is replacing the Xbox One Edition version and being sold separately (though current owners of the Xbox One Edition do get the new version for free).

While browsing the Store on the Xbox One, the listing for Minecraft: Xbox One Edition can still be found and its Game Hub still functions but it can no longer be purchased. Meanwhile, a new listing for the new version of the game, simply called Minecraft, is now discoverable and has its own new Game Hub. It’s unclear why such a shift was made though one reason could be that it makes it easier to discern which Xbox Live friends are playing which version when online. If someone is playing Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, they would be unable to join a multiplayer game on Minecraft for example.

This is fine, I mean, the better together update is something I would have liked to have had from the start but it's here so no complaints.

RepBandit why would they do this? If someone buys the newer version they cant game with someone who has the xbox one edition! Thats stupid asf


Em? Everyone that has the XB1 Edition gets the better together update for free oO so they can play with there pals without any issue.

I mean think of the benefits, on the Xbox with your pals and you need a dump. Grab your phone and head to the loo and continue on where you left off lol

Losiniecki That's.. idiotic, not sure why that makes sense.


Read the actual News Post There's no need for it anymore with the new version out... The games limited af anyway...

Craig Really cannot see their logic behind this, but whatever.


As i said above they have 2 versions on the console now... One is miles better than the other People who still had the Old version will get to keep it.. But its pretty much pointless as it won't be receiving updates and the game is limited on certain stuff that the other version can do no problem Everyone who has the old edition gets the New edition anyway i really don't see what all this fuss is about...
