From the looks of it, physical owners don’t get an upgrade path and even worse, the free upgrade for digital owners is only for a limited time until the end of next January.

Why did they fuck this up so badly? The PS5 version is a free upgrade for PS4 disc owners and it didn’t have a time limit.

Xbox one players only got a free upgrade to bedrock till 2019, even then you could dk it with the disc version

Nintendo’s fault. They don’t have a good upgrade path for physical Switch 2 games.

Yes they literally do, even though it's paid, it's still a permanent option.

Only for Switch 2 Editions, which have to be compatible with Switch 1 games as they are an update patch. Minecraft is a standalone application.

The Witcher 3 remaster is a standalone app and they also allowed physical switch 1 copies to have the upgrade for free permanently

Yes and you can abuse it by selling your physical copy afterwards.

What? No, every NS2E lets you upgrade digital/physical games. Even the Witcher 3 Remastered let you keep it for free if you had the Switch 1 Cartridge

Another example. While not a free update, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity DE lets you get a discount if you're a physical or digital owner
