Minecraft It already has the distinction of being the best-selling video game of all time. Today, it adds more to that particular pen with the announcement that it has sold a staggering 300 million copies.
“As we approach the 15th anniversary, Minecraft “It remains one of the best-selling games of all time, with more than 300 million copies sold, a milestone that no one could have dreamed of when we were all laying our first blocks,” Helen Chiang, head of Mojang Studios, said in a statement.
The new milestone was announced during Minecraft Live 2023to Minecraft live streaming event that shares community news and updates and features a stylish voting event where players you can vote on which new creature should be added to the game. This year, you can choose between a crab, an armadillo and a penguin. Personally, I voted for the penguin because he’s cute.
Three hundred million copies of Minecraft is nothing to sneeze at, eclipsing the sales of almost all other entertainment media since we started keeping track. To put it in perspective, suspense, the best selling album of all time, has sold around 70 million copies. The best-selling console, the PS2, sold around 155 million units. Even the second best-selling video game of all time, Grand Theft Auto Vnot even close Minecraft’s numbers, peaking at 185 million reported sales. Minecraft It is one of a kind and will probably remain there for a long time, or at least until Half-Life 3 comes out.
