Will these numbers continue to rise in 2015 We don’t see why they wouldn’t. The MOBA-based game reported that, during peak points, it reaches 900,000 concurrent players at the same time. The only game that comes close to this on that service is DOTA 2. The one million point for a single game release is a big thing, especially in comparison to Steam’s previously reported numbers of a concurrent user record, standing at 8.5 million gamers at once. These are big numbers for Mojang, and no doubt good news for Microsoft regarding its investment. Half the players involved were taking part in a single player session, while the other half were engaging in multiplayer, either building things with friends or competing in some other activity. Mojang also revealed an interesting statistic when it came to reaching the one million point. That’s a huge number, although not surprising given the game’s addictive nature of building things, either alone or alongside friends. In addition, the game has managed to pass the one million concurrent PC users point for the first time ever, with the number currently peaking at 1.4 million. The game has downloaded more than 30 million times, which equates to big money since it usually sells for around $4.99-$6.99 per copy. MCV UK has reported that Mojang has revealed the download numbers for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, which is currently available for iOS and Android as a premium app download. That said, it looks like the mobile version of the game is an unstoppable beast in itself.
Mojang’s Minecraft is no stranger to setting sales records, as it’s already sold millions of units across the board for PC, as well as consoles – which probably stood out as the key reason Microsoft acquired the studio for a record sum last year.
