Microsoft isn’t just releasing Windows 10 tomorrow (our early review), it’s also preparing to roll out a new version of one of its most popular games.

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition is real, and it is completely free if you already own the game on PC. You just need to go through a few steps.

Here’s how to do it:

  • Sign into your Mojang account.
  • You should see your Mincecraft purchase at the top of the page.
  • Scroll down and you should see “Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.”
  • After that, simply click the button “Claim your free copy.”
  • This will take you to a Microsoft page where you can redeem your code for the game.
  • You may need to sign into your Microsoft account.
  • The code field should auto-populate.
  • Hit “Redeem.”

Now, once you have Windows 10 installed, you should find the game in your apps.
