Nintendo Switch release
The Nintendo Switch release of the Bedrock Edition was delayed past the release of the Better Together Update to 2018. This will coincide with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Switch Edition of the Legacy Console Edition. This will coincide with the release of Update Aquatic.

1.4

Texture Update
The Texture Update is an upcoming major change to textures in Minecraft. It will change most textures in both Java and Bedrock except for iconic textures such as the Creeper. Old textures will be a separate download when the new default pack officially releases.

Update Aquatic
PlayStation 4 Edition, PlayStation 3 Edition, Xbox 360 Edition, PS Vita Edition and Wii U Edition will all receive the Update Aquatic. It will arrive a little short after the initial launch of the Update Aquatic. With the exception of PlayStation 4 Edition, this will mark the last major update for the game. This is due to the total players of the older generation of consoles now make up less than 5% of our active players, while the others are from Java, PlayStation 4 Edition and the versions of Minecraft made with the Bedrock Engine on other consoles, mobile, and Windows 10.

The Update Aquatic will not be coming to the older Editions for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Players of the old Xbox One Edition can get the Bedrock Edition for free, while Switch users will receive a patch for the Update Aquatic once it releases and will also be able to install the new version of the game for free.
