Windows 10: I have spent over $60 on Minecraft alone, just on the base game because of Microsoft's Play...

So, I have had to purchase Minecraft 3 times, and i do not desire to purchase it again just to play it on my PC. I have spent approximately 66.97 USD just to play this game on my Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The amount of money me, and thousands of other people have spent just to play Minecraft on various consoles, is ridiculous. And it shocks me that Microsoft's standout title does not have Play Anywhere Support. Seems like overkill to buy Minecraft for 26.99 USD again just to play the same game on a different platform. Thus i request that Minecraft be put on the Play Anywhere roster. It would be great just to have a simple block-building game that you, as the company, own, be a game that we don't have to purchase 3 times.

Minecraft

Hi Reinis,

There are several editions of Minecraft. Each edition works best on the platform it was intended to.
Minecraft: Java and Minecraft: Windows 10 editions were created for Windows 10 devices. There's a different version available for an Xbox One platform. To answer your question, since the version you have is for Windows 10,
you'll need to purchase the game's Xbox One version. You may purchase Minecraft: Xbox One version on this

link.

Our Xbox developers are collating suggestions for the improvement of your Xbox gaming experience. Recently, we've created the
Xbox Play Anywhere feature. This allows Windows 10 games to be played on Xbox One and vice versa. Based on the list, Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game. You may refer to this
link for additional details regarding the XPA games. Since Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game, we recommend submitting a post to the
Xbox UserVoice page and request this game to be included as an Xbox Play Anywhere.

We hope we're able to answer your query.

If there's anything else you want to clarify, don't hesitate to get back to us. We'd be glad to further assist you.
