Be one of the first to play Minecraft cross-platform in the Minecraft Better Together Beta! You can play with other beta participants on Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One consoles (coming soon), and Android devices.
The Better Together Beta brings infinite worlds to console players, and new features like parrots, brewing stands, fireworks, stained glass, banners and more to Pocket and Windows 10 players. Try the new recipe book which takes the best parts of crafting from all our different versions and merges them into one. Servers and marketplace will be accessible in the beta as well.

If an update isn't available from Downloads and updates, check back in a little while.
