How to Update Minecraft Bedrock
To make sure that your game is fully up-to-date and will therefore function correctly, here is a breakdown of how to update your game on each platform.
PlayStation - Hover over the Minecraft icon on your menu screen, then press the Options button (Pause button on PS5), and select "Check for Update". If one is available, it will then allow you to download it.
Xbox - Hover over the Minecraft icon on your menu screen, then press the Options button, and select "Check for Update". If one is available, it will then allow you to download it.
PC - Upon opening the Minecraft launcher, ensure that the large green button reads "Play", if there is a newer version of the game available, it will instead read "Update". Press it to automatically begin the update.
Mobile - Head into your device's respective store (Apple App Store, Google Play, etc), and type in Minecraft. If the main button on the Minecraft page says "Open", the game is up to date. If it says "Update", tap that button, and the update will automatically begin.
Switch - Hover over the Minecraft icon in your list of games, and press the + button. Select "Software Update" and "Via the Internet", and this will automatically begin the update if there is one available.
Minecraft Outdated Client
Should you receive the "Outdated Client" error message, this typically simply means that you are running an outdated version of the game, and may need to manually force an update (particularly if you haven't played for a while).
To fix this issue, you need to update your game using one of the methods laid out above.
Minecraft Outdated Realm
If you are attempting to join a Realm and receive the "Outdated Realm" error message, this happens when your currently installed version is not the same as the servers. The only guaranteed way to fix this issue is to ensure that everyone playing on the server, including the host, is using the same version of the game.
As there isn't a uniform way to go backward in terms of the version of the game you're playing on, this essentially means you all need to keep on the most up-to-date version of the game for Realms to work flawlessly.
If the error message persists, the best way to attempt to correct it is the following:
Select "Play", then select the Realm in question.
Choose "Edit World" and then "Download World".
Back out, and select the same Realm again, clicking "Edit World".
This time, select "Replace World" and choose the world you downloaded in Step 2.
Launch the Realm and see if the issue is resolved.
Minecraft Bedrock Update August 2022
This minor update for Bedrock has a few small changes and newly implemented features but mostly focuses on bug fixes and technical updates. Primarily, the updated Create New World screen has been added to the Switch version, as well as some changes like middle mouse click support for iOS and redesigned menu toggle switches to make ON/OFF states easier to distinguish.
The full patch notes are available here, but the majority are detailed below:
