How to get access to servers?

My son bought Minecraft for his xbox one on a disc. I have also bought minecraft but I purchased digitally. I have the servers option to play all the games (cake wars, etc.). However he doesn't. He has a gold membership (thought maybe an update would be needed).

How he can access servers?

You need to buy the new Minecraft digitally, unless your son has played for 5+ hours between Sep. 2016 and Sep. 2017. Since servers seem not to be available, check for updates. If after any updates (if there are any), it still doesn't work, it means you do not meet the criteria and must buy the digital version.

If you own the disc version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and you have played for at least 5 hours or purchased an item between September 2016 and September 2017, you will also receive a digital copy of Minecraft under Ready to install. This offer is valid until January 31, 2018, after which time you will need to purchase a digital version of Minecraft.
