Nu hvor PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds er gået hen og er blevet så stor en populærkulturel kraft, så er det let at glemme at Minecraft stadig er én af branchens største giganter. Men det bliver vi vist alle mindet om via nye salgstal, der mildest er imponerende.
For nylig har den nye Operations Chief, Helen Chiang, givet et interview med Popsugar, hvor hun bekræfter at Minecraft har solgt 144 millioner eksemplarer.
"We just recently set a new record in December for monthly active users, so now we're at 74 million monthly active users — and that's really a testament to people coming back to the game, whether it's through the game updates or bringing in new players from across the world. That's really our goal, to keep building the community that we have.
In terms of the focuses for her new role, she added that "the first one is bringing over more people to Bedrock through Nintendo, and that's coming out pretty soon. The second is expanding the features in the game that the players love, so we have the update Aquatic coming out pretty soon. The third one is the new graphics engine that we talked about both at MINECON and E3, the superduper graphics pack. They're all areas that I'm really excited about and that the team is working very hard on."
144 millioner eksemplarer og 76 millioner månedlige aktive spillere - noget tyder på at Bluehole har lidt vej endnu.
