Mojang announced at Minecraft Live 2023 earlier that "Minecraft" will enter its 2024th anniversary in 15. The game's cumulative sales have now exceeded 3 million copies, and many other news were also announced.
In fact, "Minecraft" has accumulated sales of more than 2020 million copies in 2. The game with the second highest cumulative sales after "Minecraft" is "Grand Theft Auto V", produced by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, and launched on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, as well as Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC platforms, but it has only accumulated more than 1.85 million copies.
As the game is about to enter its 15th anniversary, Mojang General Manager Helen Chiang stated that they have worked with players around the world to create more than 1500 million pickaxes, discovered more than 670 million diamonds, and slaughtered more than 1500 million skeletons. She also emphasized that the cumulative sales of more than 3 million copies of the game are a milestone that was almost unimaginable when the first brick was placed in the game.
Game Director Agnes Larsson stated that the 2024 update will be released in mid-1.21, and Minecraft: Legends will also be updated with more content. Furthermore, Mojang plans to release the Star Wars: Path of the Jedi download update via the App Store on November 11th, giving players a brand new gameplay experience.
As part of a collaboration between BBC Studios and Minecraft Education, players will be able to glimpse the brick-based landscape of the Earth in Minecraft through the "Planet Earth III" downloadable content produced by the "BBC Earth" program.
