Popular Microsoft-owned game Minecraft has sold a massive 300 million copies to date, remaining one of the best-selling games of all time.
It might feel like Minecraftâs blocky biomes have been around since the beginning of time and the game is turning 15 next year.
âTogether weâve been crafting pickaxes (15 million of them) discovering diamonds (6.7 million), and slaying 15 million skeletons,â the company said in a statement.
âJust recently, we also crossed 300 million copies sold, a milestone no-one could have dreamed of when we were all building our first dirt houses,â the company added.
To put it in perspective, Thriller, the bestselling album of all time, has sold around 70 million copies. The bestselling console, the PS2, sold around 155 million units.
The new milestone was announced during the âMinecraft Live 2023â on Sunday. Game director Agnes Larsson and a few Minecraft developers unveiled some of the key features heading to Minecraft as part of next yearâs update.
Minecraft Legends, which received major updates in August, will get some exciting new features in its second update, its biggest one yet.
