Windows 10 is out today and it’s a free upgrade for your computer if you’re already using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.
This might sweeten the deal even more: If you already own Minecraft for Mac or PC, you’ll get a free copy of the new and improved version by upgrading to Windows 10
Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition is a beta version of a new experience. It’s a completely separate version of the game that supports Xbox Live, controller support, game recording and multiplayer with Pocket Edition players.
