Minecraft PC has 100 million users, 14.3 million copies sold

4.4
Mojang founder Markus "Notch" Persson has announced that the PC version of Minecraft has racked up 100 million registered users.

That is the number of people who have created free Minecraft accounts - a required step in downloading the Minecraft demo from the official Mojang site.

Persson has also announced that the game has achieved a "14.3% conversion rate to paid accounts", meaning around 14.3 million of those registered users went on to purchase the full game.

Mojang had announced the game had sold 13 million copies at the end of December 2013, and 14 million copies by February 3, suggesting a still significant rate of sales for the game released in November 2011.

The company also recently announced sales of 10 million copies of the Xbox 360 version and one million copies of the PlayStation 3 version, the latter having hit the million milestone after only five weeks on sale.

Plans for Xbox One, PS4 and Vita versions of Minecraft were announced in August 2013.

JRJ This is crazy! I liked Minecraft at one point. I just played it so much I really have no interest in it now.


Same but lots of people are playing it i don't why they find this fun to play.


the same way you did when you liked it. Some people enjoy playing it. I think if you started it again you would get back into it. It's fun to play it a lot and build cool things and then take like a 3 month break


Well yeah that is what i do with most games when they have a really good update i come back and check it out.
