If you manually downloaded Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/, then the App Store app isn't aware that there's an Xcode that needs to be automatically updated. The App Store app only keeps track of store apps it downloaded and installed itself.

You need to either download Xcode from the Mac App Store directly or you need to keep watching the http://developer.apple.com/xcode page to get informed of updates.

If you download Xcode from the app store, you'll be notified of an update when Apple releases an official new version (e.g. from today's current version 7.2.1 to version 7.3, soon after it's GM'd). – Godfry 13/3, 2016 at 13:0

Though, I seem to have lost automatic update ability and I have been using the Mac App Store all along. Suddenly, now with 13.3, I have to start downloading updates manually and Mac App Store became disconnected on its own. So that happens too. – Burns 21/4, 2022 at 18:32

This download page is the only hope that I have. I am certainly not going to try some kind of uninstall process and re-install to try to get it hooked up again knowing that it can unhook at any time: developer.apple.com/download/all – Burns 21/4, 2022 at 18:33

Usually even after I update the MacOS to latest it still doesn't show the Xcode update in app store when in Update section. So what worked for me was pressing the "Reload Page" button in the Store in the toolbar menu. Make sure you're in the update section and you'll suddenly see xcode with update button pop up there. See image below.

Thank you! Would've spent another hour on this had it not been for you. Crazy how the app store doesn't update automatically after an OS update. – Boomkin 30/6, 2021 at 21:42

If none of the above solutions work, make sure that your macOS version is compatible with the XCode version, you want to upgrade to.

In my case, my macOS version was 12.4 and Xcode version was 13. The upgrade option was visible for me only after upgrading macOS version >= 12.6 as Xcode version 14 is supported only from macOS 12.6 onwards
