The PC/Mac version of Minecraft has now officially sold more than 13 million copies as of the 13th of this month. The game is for $26.95 per copy, but certain alpha and beta versions were for less, therefore calculating the precise lifetime revenue isn’t possible.
They had sold over 12 million copies in the beginning of September and had sold around 11 million copies at the end of June. Writing on Twitter, creator Markus Persson said, “The original version of Minecraft has now passed 13 million copies sold. Official statement: whoa.”
Minecraft is available too on other platforms. The Xbox 360 version has sold more than 8 million copies as of August, and the Pocket Edition sold around 10 million copies in May.
Microsoft has described Minecraft is described as a “beast” by Microsoft and will surely come out on Xbox One. Though a release date isn’t confirmed, it is to come out for the PS4 as well.
