I've got the same issue. Bought the OG 4J disk back in 2014, and the editions button doesn't show up anymore. It's been a bug for 4 years now, I guess they aren't gonna fix it. Real shame cuz now it's impossible to 100% the Minecraft achievements. Support just told me to come here.
tldr: Minecraft doesn’t realise that you own the og disk.
Neither Mojang nor PlayStation have any idea what is happening, but I have a suspicion. This issue only seems to affect players that own both the og ps4 version, and a digital copy of the new Minecraft. I think they might have coded the game such that the second you get the new version, it inadvertently locks you out of editions despite what the disk says. This would also explain why fully wiping your Minecraft save data would reset it, as Minecraft wouldn’t know that you own 2 copies. Seems like a really simple fix, Minecraft just needs to check to see what disk is running in the disk drive. Or the even simpler solution, just let us use editions on any PlayStation despite ownership of the og disk, that would fix everything.
