I greatly appreciate your time & I’ll try to make this as brief as possible. Since the previous tutorials, I made on How To Get The Editions Button Back I’ve been hesitant about making a third, and that’s not because I didn’t find other methods that worked but Because I wanted to try & find a method that worked 100% of the time for everyone, however sadly I eventually came to the conclusion that there will never be such a method. From these past two years of testing multiple different methods & potential tricks, It has become evident that there can be multiple different things that can cause you to not have the editions button or lose it if you did have it. Some of these are things like game-sharing, having other accounts set as primary on your Playstation, not having ever actually played the Playstation Legacy Console Edition, Having any save data from the newer Bedrock version & more. Due to this I’ll be undoubtedly making more videos in the coming months covering multiple other different methods & to test the methods more carefully to ensure each test isn’t being affected by some of my own settings or anything which believe me Was something I worried about, I’ve even purchased another PS4 so I can factory reset my original one to use it exclusively to test new methods. I’ve also now upgraded my recording equipment from in the first tutorials Using my Playstation to record to now using a PC with an Elgato so as opposed to you having to look at screenshots of what to do or having to follow instructions verbally you’ll now be able to see what I’m talking about visually. As a last note if you or anyone you know manages to find a new method on how to get the editions button back or one you don’t believe I’ve covered please contact me via any of my social medias such As Discord, Instagram, Snapchat or Twitter which are all linked in the about section of my YouTube channel. I’m always interested in trying to discover new methods so feel free to contact me! Now let’s go over the steps to hopefully help you get your editions button back, 1. Before doing anything please back up any save data which is mainly (world saves) to either the PlayStation Cloud or a USB device unless you don’t care about losing worlds. You can do this by going to the PlayStation home screen & then going in this order. Settings – Application Saved Data Management – Saved Data In System Storage – then select either Upload to Online Storage (if you have PlayStation Plus) or Copy to USB Storage Device. Once you’ve chosen where you want to upload the Data, simply go through your games & select “Minecraft” then chose which worlds you want to save, select them & upload them. As a note, this will take a little while depending on how many saves you are uploading & how fast your internet speed is so please keep that in mind. And lastly, if you have any skins, mash-up packs, Textures or maps you bought while being logged into a Microsoft account they’ll be deleted but don’t worry you can just simply log back into your Microsoft account & download them all again. 2. Now once you’ve got all the saved data you want to keep backed up next What you are going to want to do is go back to the PlayStation home screen & go in this order. Settings – Application Saved Data Management – Saved Data In System Storage – Delete – Minecraft then press the “Select All” option, & finally press “Delete” although this Might seem silly or somewhat concerning please trust me it’s a necessary step. Basically with this method we are trying to do is trick the system into believing you’ve never played Minecraft before on this PS4. Or if you had the Editions button before but lost it, We are trying to help the system acknowledge you haven’t played the newer Minecraft. 3. Then you are going to want to go & deactivate any & all accounts on the PlayStation. You can do this by going to Settings – Account Management – Activate as Your Primary PS4 Then select “Deactivate” if done correctly at the bottom of the screen you should see “This PS4 is not activated as your primary PS4.” or obviously if you are on PS5 “This PS5 is not activated as your primary PS5.” You’ll need to do this with each account on the console. From all my experience testing this method I found that having other accounts activated as primary on your Playstation (especially accounts that also own Minecraft or have save data for it) can 100% cause you to lose your editions button. For example, I have two PlayStation accounts my original one is called “Catmanjoe2020” which I bought Minecraft digitally on back in 2020 & my main account “MrCatmanjoe” which I also bought Minecraft digitally on but later in 2021. My main account MrCatmanjoe is the account I use when I play Minecraft on both my digital version & the physical disc version where I have the editions button, However, if I switch to my original account “Catmanjoe2020” and activate it as a primary account on my PS4 then try to load Minecraft on my main account, I will no longer have the editions button & to get it back I’ll need to deactivate the original account & then do all these steps again. This is because as I mentioned before having two or more accounts that each own Minecraft or have save data on it affects the editions button. 4. Once you’ve deleted all Minecraft Save Data from System Storage we are just going to load up Minecraft (I’d recommend before loading it up you double-check Once again that you deleted everything) You can easily do this by going back to Saved Data In System Storage & seeing if you can see Minecraft anywhere, if you can’t see the game then you’ve successfully deleted all data regarding it! And that’s it! Once you reload Minecraft you Should have the Editions button there as an option. I’ve so far tested this method with both digital & psychical Minecraft owners & both seem to work so it’s an easy & simple fix that aside from having to upload your world data shouldn’t take long. I will add for anyone curious you can reactive the other PlayStation accounts as primary if you want to play specific games on them or anything but just don’t ever load Minecraft until you’ve deactivated them again or you’ll lose the editions button & have to repeat this.
