Re-allow digital purchase of legacy console edition (Switch + Xbox One)

I'd totally buy Minecraft on console again if I could do this. Just slap a disclaimer about not receiving updates/discontinued, but at least allow us to buy that version if we want. I'm a sort of Minecraft edition collector, and I want to be able to get that version.

    It is 2024. This version of Minecraft hasn't been available in a long time now. Please relist and give it a physical release, through Limited Run Games at the very least. The only way to play the Switch version now is through shady means, which really sucks.

    I agree 100 percent with this, Xbox One edition and PS Vita edition was my everything back when bedrock wasn't a thing. Bring them back so everyone can be happy

    Legacy console was the best, I hope Mojang, and especially Microsoft, realize that soon. Minecraft legacy console edition had a lot of little QOL tweaks, tweaks that bedrock edition lacks.

    This is too good to be true, but the amount of people who didin't have a switch back then or an xbox one be able to play the legacy console edition on new consoles that did not have minecraft switch edition or xbox one edition is the perfect solution of 2019. (when ps4 edition was discontinued). At least appreciate 4J's work that made the childhood of everyone perfect. The crafting ui, the creative ui, the minigames, Just honor it while it lasted. (idk how to make good comments so yeah you can have this)

    I support the Minecraft legacy Edition on Xbox Nintendo switch and Playstation because if you would put everything in to bedrock its just lagging

    Hello Mojang and 4J Studios may you please put the original Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition from 2017 back on the Nintendo eShop? It can be the exact same as it was with the last update it received and not be updated anymore if that is possible ok. Me and several other people would love and appreciate if you decide to do this in 2025. Thank you for everything!

    I require this. I have an all digital XBOX One S (and I don't wanna return it even though I wasted money) and I would really need the full version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition. I can only install the trial, because Microsoft decided to be stupid and delist Minecraft: Xbox One Edition. I only got my XBOX One S All Digital Edition in 2018, but even though I have Minecraft: PlayStation®4 Edition, I would like to experience the minigames pre Update Aquatic again.

    The reason why I want to see this purchasable is for the battle minigames and glide that it had. They were so much fun to play and would love to be able to experience a simpler time again.

    I would much rather play legacy on my switch lite. Bedrock sucks.

    Bringing the legacy editions back would be beneficial as it would give an option to access older updates of Minecraft, since Bedrock Edition updates automatically and the updates aren't optional to my knowledge.

    I would absolutely buy the Legacy Console Edition immediately if it were available on switch. I sunk so many hours into the Legacy Console Editions.
