How to update Minecraft on PC
Users of personal computers should enjoy automatic updates on their devices when they are in standby mode or connected to the internet. To verify if you have the latest version, simply glance at the bottom part of the Minecraft title screen where you’ll find a figure like 1.21.5.
If you haven’t got the latest version of Minecraft, you’ll need to perform a manual update to access those new features. To update Minecraft on your computer, simply right-click on the Minecraft Launcher from its installation location. Then, click ‘more’ and select ‘app settings.’ After that, you can choose ‘repair and reset’ which will initiate a manual update of the launcher.
How to update Minecraft on Nintendo Switch
As a devoted Minecraft enthusiast, I found myself in a situation where my game on Nintendo Switch wasn’t running the latest version. To rectify this issue, here’s what I did: I navigated to the Minecraft tile on my Switch dashboard and hit the ‘+’ button. After that, I opened the software update menu and selected the option to update via the internet if I was connected. If you happen to have another Switch nearby, you can also opt to sync your version with other local users.
How to update Minecraft on PlayStation
The instructions provided here are applicable to both PlayStation 4 and 5 gaming consoles. Look for the Minecraft tile on your PlayStation home screen or in your games library. Once you find it, press the options button and choose “Check for Update”. If a newer version of the game is available, it will automatically download and install itself.
How to update Minecraft on Xbox
1. Go to the Games & Apps section of your device.
2. Tap on the ‘Manage’ option in the menu.
3. Navigate to the ‘Updates’ section.
4. The system will check your library for any games needing updates, and those requiring updates will be displayed.
5. You have the choice to update all of them or just select Minecraft specifically by tapping on it and then selecting the ‘Update’ option that appears.
How to update Minecraft on mobile
Updating Minecraft on a mobile device may vary based on whether you own an iPhone (iOS) or an Android smartphone. Usually, the game updates itself, but there might be certain settings or software that could impede this process.
How to update Minecraft on iOS
For iOS users, simply follow these steps: Navigate to the App Store on your device, then locate and tap on your profile in the upper right corner. Scroll down to find any upcoming automatic updates, among which should be the Minecraft update. Tap it to initiate the update process, ensuring you’re running the latest version of the game. Alternatively, search for Minecraft within the App Store, and if an update is available, a button will appear prompting you to update the app. Go ahead and click this button to keep your Minecraft game updated.
How to update Minecraft on Android
Navigate to the Google Play Store, locate your profile icon positioned at the upper right corner, and click on it. Select the ‘Manage apps and devices’ option that appears. Once there, look for any updates by tapping on ‘Updates Available’. Among the list, identify Minecraft and tap it to initiate its update. Just like with iOS, if you visit Minecraft’s Play Store page, an ‘Update’ button will appear should there be one available.
