14 DAY TRIAL // As promised, Microsoft's Mojang has just released Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, which is available for free to all those who already own Minecraft for PC/Mac.
Those that have been able to upgrade their PCs to Windows 10 will now be able to download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta for free, as long as they already own the PC/Mac game. In case you haven't purchased Minecraf yet, you can get the new version for $10 (€7.5).
If you already own Minecraft for PC, you can download you Windows 10 Edition version if you log in to your Mojang account.
Simply push the “Redeem” button on your account page, sing into your Microsoft account, and follow the instructions that follow.
That's really all you need to do in order to download your free copy of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.
Keep in mind though that Mojang has announced the game is still rolling out, so if the “Redeem” button doesn't show for you yet, you should try again later.
Or purchase it via Windows 10 Store
It's also worth mentioning that those who don't own Minecraft for PC/Mac and wish to purchase the Windows 10 Edition Beta will be able to do so via Windows 10 Store.
“Just like the first release of Minecraft all those years ago, this version will develop and evolve over time with the help of your feedback.
“That’s why it has “Beta” in the title – because it’s not quite finished, and will become even more fun over time. Just like the other versions of Minecraft, all future updates will be free. We spoil you. We really do,” promises Mojang.
In the same piece of news, Mojang is expected to launch a major update for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, which will add lots of news features and improvements, including controller support.
This update should have been released today along with Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta, but developers announced a while ago that it was delayed for next month.
