Bedrock Edition

Nintendo Switch release

The Nintendo Switch release of the Bedrock Edition was delayed past the release of the Better Together Update to winter 2017.^[3] This will coincide with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Switch Edition of the Console Edition, as the Xbox One Edition was discontinued with the Better Together Update. If another Bedrock Edition update is released before then, it is possible that the Nintendo Switch release will be on a version past Bedrock Edition 1.2.
