I am planning to buy the regular minecraft. I am just curious if I bought it right now if the windows 10 edition still comes as free.

Nope.

It was free to java version owners, and we've been warned for over a year that that deal was only while it was in beta. Now that it's come out of beta, it's the regular price (about $27).

In case others are wondering, the discounted price of $10 for non-owners of the java version is also over.

Actually, there are 12 days left (as of this post) to get Win10 Edition for $9.99.

Windows Store - Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition

Edit: Sale ends on January 23, 2017

One or the other.

Small updates might be automatic.

Large ones are usually done in the Store.

I hope it is ok to post my own video here but this is a way you can get Minecraft Windows 10 edition for free even after the price goes up.

It's worth paying the $10 just to not have to do all those searches. Besides, didn't that $10 offer end yesterday?

(You can get any game in the Store... if you search enough).

Hahaa

$10 when you have it... I had lost my job when I did that so free was very nice.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, it's still "free", you just have to do more searches.

Haha! Just checked the Microsoft Store website and they extended the sale. It now says 27 more days (Feb 21) as of this post.

Wish they'd make up their minds....

Anything is free if your brave enough. i bought the game to support moyang

For me nothing has changed other than my homepage.

I would like to point out that using my method you still are purchasing Minecraft. I also have gotten flowers for my wife and a few other things like amazon gift cards.
