Minecraft has cemented its position as the best-selling video game of all time, as it has sol𓃲d over two hundred million copies since release.

The battle for the best-selling video game of all time was once fought between Minecraft and Tetris, but  eventually won out. Tetris has since been taken out of the running, as it's now broken down into separate versions of the game. The mobile version of Tetris is the third best-selling game of all time, while the console version is classed as the ninth. This means that Grand Theft Auto V is now the second best-selling game of all time.

Minecraft's influence continues to grow, and Microsoft's purchase of Mojang for over two billion dollars is looking like a worthwhile investment. According to Minecraft has sold over two hundred million copies across multiple platforms to date. Minecraft also has a staggering 126 million active monthly users, which is something 🐲that has only been beaten by a handful of other ga🐈mes over the years.

Minecraft has always been a popular title, but more people have started playing the game in recent months due to the self-isolation period. Minecraft offers practically infinite replayability and it's available on pretty much every modern platform, so it's a good choice for someone with a lot of time on their hands. It also offers a place where fri🦩ends can freely meet in an online space and be creativ💛e together.

Minecraft has slowly been adding content throughout its run and Microsoft has been promoting new features for the game, going into the next generation of systems. Minecraft was one of the chief games that brought cross-play to modern systems and helped Sony to finally stop being jerks and play ball. It exists in the kind of creative space where it can attract players for decades to come, with former fans always able to come back and discover more about the game. Microsoft has big plans for the Minecraft franchise in the future and its status as the best-selling video ga🍨me of all time likely won't be threatened anytime soon.
