Minecraft is the world’s best selling video game. Over 300 million copies of the game have been shipped since the title’s launch around 15 years ago. This is a major milestone for the company, so let’s have a look.
Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies
Mojang Studios, the company behind the best selling game of all time, has sold more than 300 million copies of the game. In comparison, the second highest selling game in the world is Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5, which sold over 185 million copies. In other words, Minecraft has blown past all of its competitors despite being such an old launch. It was first released back in 2013 and first crossed the 200 million mark back in 2020.
The studio announced this major milestone during a Minecraft Live event. During this live stream, Mojang even revealed certain new features that will be coming to the game. This includes the new trial chamber that brings traps and mobs that players must face in a series of rooms and corridors. As of right now, a new Star Wars: Path of the Jedi DLC and Planet Earth CLD are currently in the works and will be available on 7th November 2023 and early 2024 respectively.
According to Helen Chiang, head of Mojang Studios “As we approach the 15th anniversary, Minecraft remains one of the best-selling games of all time with over 300 million copies sold. It is a milestone no one could have dreamed of when we were all placing our first blocks.” In related news, here’s a list of the best PCs that are great for those who love to play Minecraft.
