"Minecraft Breaks Sales Record with 300 Million Copies Sold"

Minecraft, developed by Mojang Studios, has become the first video game to surpass 300 million sales worldwide, surpassing Grand Theft Auto V's 185 million copies. However, it still falls short of Super Mario's 800 million games sold across its franchise. Minecraft's popularity can be attributed to its sandbox nature and its presence outside of the game itself, with YouTube videos related to Minecraft being viewed over one trillion times. The game's sales include purchases across various platforms, allowing players to carry over their progress and play on different devices.
