Those who don't own Minecraft on PC or Mac can buy the Windows 10 Edition at the discounted price of $10 during the beta. The new operating system-which Windows 7 and 8 users can upgrade to for free-is required for playing this version of the game. The Windows 10 Edition beta is set to launch tomorrow, July 29, the same day Windows 10 itself launches. Once it's released, all you'll need to do is log into your account on Mojang's website, click the Redeem button, sign into your Microsoft account, and claim your free copy.

Mojang today detailed the process of obtaining the Windows 10 Edition beta, and it's quite simple. Anyone who's purchased the PC/Mac version version previously, which some 20-plus million people already have, can get this new version for free. As announced earlier this month, Mojang will soon launch the beta for a "whole new version" of Minecraft, the Windows 10 Edition.
