Xbox and Mojang hosted Minecraft Live this week. At the event, they discussed upcoming plans for the series. The main announcement is the first new dimension in 14 years, called The Sift, which will appear in Minecraft Dungeons II for the first time.
Asha Sharma on her social networks commented Minecraft success. She said that the cumulative sales of the game have exceeded 425 million copies, and even now more than 300,000 players play the game for the first time every day.
On average, more than 300,000 people play Minecraft for the first time every day. After more than 17 years and over 425 million copies sold, it’s astounding to me that Minecraft is still finding new players and providing new discoveries for long-time fans.
Asha’s social media followers were quick to calculate that if Minecraft had 300,000 new players every day, it would attract 100 million new users every year. Meanwhile, only 425 million copies have now been sold, raising questions about the veracity of the numbers mentioned by Asha Sharma. It is worth noting that in October 2023, about 3 years ago, Microsoft said that “Minecraft” sales reached 300 million copies.
Previously, Asha Sharma said she was taking the development of the Minecraft series under personal control.
