No one has been able to dethrone Minecraft!
Undoubtedly, you or people around you have played Minecraft. The game, released in 2011, surprised the gaming world with high sales figures since its launch. Despite its simple style, Mojang Studios‘ popular game captured the hearts of users, a fact confirmed by its sales.
There are some games that have left a mark on the gaming world. One of them is Grand Theft Auto 5, developed by Rockstar Games. However, there’s another game that has surpassed even GTA 5, and that’s Minecraft. The game quickly exceeded 200 million copies sold in 2020, snatching the title of the best-selling game of all time. Today, it has once again renewed this title.
According to the announcements, Minecraft has surpassed 300 million sales, making it the best-selling game of all time as of 2023. Leaving GTA 5 far behind with its 185 million sales, Minecraft has proven its success once again. Helen Chiang, the president of Mojang Studios, said the following about the achievement:
“As we approach our 15th anniversary, Minecraft continues to be one of the best-selling games of all time, with over 300 million copies sold. It’s a milestone that no one could have imagined when we first placed those blocks.”
