Minecraft crosses 300 million copies sold as it prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary
Minecraft remains the best-selling video game of all time, nearly 15 years later.
I feel like I bought at least six of them.
Got it on PC, Android, iOS, Switch and PS4 and the only version i ever really played was Java lol
*licences to play, not copies.
*copies of licenses
This. I own a Mojang account because I paid for minecraft (I thought) and I cannot play anymore because apparently I bought an account and not a game.
All video game copies are just licences
Truly a timeless game
This is the best summary I could come up with:
However, it has been over two years since Mojang Studios last revealed to players just how many copies of Minecraft have been purchased since the game's debut in May 2009.
"As we approach the 15th anniversary, Minecraft remains one of the best-selling games of all time, with over 300 million copies sold, a milestone no one could have dreamed of when we were all placing our first blocks," said Helen Chiang, head of Mojang Studios.
Since then, there has been silence on that front, although Minecraft Dungeons did reach over 25 million unique players (10 months after it went end-of-life, apparently).
While we don't know exactly how Mojang is planning to celebrate 15 years of Minecraft, you can be sure it'll be a grand affair befitting a game with over 300 million copies sold and more than a decade under its belt.
It is our community’s creativity and dedication that has helped shape this world into something extraordinary," said Kayleen Walters, head of franchise development at Mojang Studios.
"As we kick off this milestone year, we eagerly look forward to honoring and celebrating your contributions, stories and adventures.
