Over two years ago, in September 2017, the developers of Minecraft released the Better Together update for platforms including Android, Xbox One, Windows 10, iOS, and Gear VR. Subsequently, the Nintendo Switch platform was also added. This effectively became the sole and primary version of Minecraft, allowing players to unite and play with one another regardless of their chosen platform. The Better Together update marked a significant milestone that transformed the entire gaming landscape. But this is just the beginning!
Why are we discussing an update that was released two years ago? Because we have some fantastic news for you! The developers have decided to offer a little gift to users of Minecraft on the Xbox One. Anyone who has the 2017 update installed will be able to upgrade their game to the latest version at no cost! However, this offer is time-sensitive. All Xbox One players can upgrade Minecraft to the most recent version completely free until November 30, 2019.
To gain this opportunity, you must meet several requirements. First, you need to log into your Xbox One account. You should have at least 5 hours of gameplay within the last 12 months or possess any purchased game content. If neither condition is met, you have a great chance to spend 5 enjoyable and productive hours in Minecraft. It’s important to complete this before the deadline—November 30th. How can you find out if you’ve received the update? You will receive an email from the developers outlining the next steps. Given the large number of players, it may take some time to process all requests, so the email could arrive within a few weeks.
What is the purpose of this update?
You will be able to play with gamers from other platforms: Android, Xbox One, Windows 10, iOS, Gear VR, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, after installing the free update, you will gain immediate access to several updates: Aquatic, Village & Pillage, as well as those that are yet to be released.
