Usually with major new version releases, we roll them out to users gradually as not to bog down our servers too much and also in case there turn out to be any bugs we didn't spot during testing so that fewer users end up being affected should we end up having to pull the build and push out a patch. Eventually you would have received a notification about the new version. It would have downloaded the installer during an update and you would have seen a tray notification from Malwarebytes telling you that the new version was ready for installation, prompting you to proceed with the upgrade.
That's only for full version releases though. We often release what are called component updates or "CU" which go out silently and install automatically without any notifications or prompting. CU packages allow us to update individual components of the product without having to push out a full installer when we have fixes and/or improvements for an individual module in the product such as one of the protection components. When one of those is installed it changes the "Component package version" info which is one of the items listed in the "About" tab in the main UI.
I would suggest just downloading the new version.
Just download the latest installer from : https://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mb3
Run the installer on top of your existing product. No need to uninstall. Restart after.

Malwarebytes posted that CU 1.0.261 was being released to the production channel. I notice I got updated to CU 1.0.262 but I am still getting the Beta updates.
Nothing about CU 1.0.262 on MB site.
