Minecraft has now surpassed the milestone of 300 million copies sold, to solidify its position as the best-selling game of all time.
The announcement was made on October 15 during the Minecraft Live 2023, an annual livestream gathering that not only shares news and community updates but also includes a unique voting event.
Minecraft’s 300 million copies sold surpass nearly all other forms of entertainment including the best-selling album of all time, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”’ and the highest-selling gaming console, the PlayStation 2.
