Now Playing: The Secrets of Minecraft Villagers

This comes just days after it was revealed Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies at Minecraft Live 2023. Minecraft sits at No. 2 on the top 10 list of best-selling games of all time, with only Tetris (including pack-ins) above it. What’s also impressive is that as of 2021, the sandbox game had totaled 238 million units in sales. So in the past two years, the game has been purchased over 60 million times.

That wasn’t the only big announcement at the event, either. New Star Wars and Planet Earth DLC are on the way for the sandbox game, along with developer Mojang teasing 15th anniversary plans for next year. Recently, Minecraft received DLC that allows players to have NERF battles.
