Make Sure You’re Connected to the Xbox Network
You need an Xbox network account and access to the internet to download and install updates. But, you shouldn’t need an Xbox Live Gold subscription. A free Xbox Live account should work just as well. To test your connection:
How to Update Minecraft
Insert the Minecraft disc (if you have one) and start the app. Once you’re on the game’s main menu, the update should automatically begin downloading. Depending on the size of the update, it could take a few minutes to completely download and install.
If You Can’t Update Minecraft
If you can’t having trouble downloading and installing the update, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try that may work for you.
Clear Your System Cache
Delete and Reinstall the Game
If clearing the cache doesn’t work, you could try deleting and installing the game. If you bought a digital copy, you’ll have to re-download it as well.
Try a Direct Modem Connection
If your Xbox 360 connects to the internet via a router, try connecting it directly to the modem.
