Minecraft’s player count is now more than 176 million

Minecraft’s player count is now more than 176 million

May 20, 2019 Minecraft's player count continues its upward trajectory.

Minecraft celebrated its tenth anniversary last week, using the opportunity to announce a brand-new game in the form of Minecraft Earth. But as well as Mojang's apparent affinity for Pokemon Go, Microsoft also revealed new sales figures for the iconic block-builder.

In an announcement over the weekend, the publisher said that "Minecraft has sold more than 176 million copies to-date in virtually every country in the world." To put that in perspective, if Minecraft were a country, those numbers would make it the eighth-largest in the world.

Those numbers are, of course, not unique to PC - they'll include console figures, as well as the mobile-specific Pocket Edition - but that doesn't mean they're not mind-bogglingly impressive. For context, other than Tetris (which could rival Minecraft for the title of best-selling game ever) the only game to surpass 100 million sales is Grand Theft Auto V. Publisher Take-Two Interactive recently announced that that game had reached 110 million sales, adding ten million in just six months.
