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.

daRealRush Minecraft is a great game. I am not shocked it has gained this many copies sold. I hope they continue to add things to make the game better. I am also excited for the PS4, PS Vita, and Xbox One versions of the game to come out. I will be buying them, even though I already have the Xbox 360 Version, and the PS3 Version.


Hopefully we will be able to get some sort of a discount on the next gen versions of the game. That would be super greatly appreciated!

That's the only time I've ever tried this game and it was confusing, lol. I assume it's a lot better now?

Yet the Minecraft community is growing. That's why some Youtubers quit CoD.
