Minecraft has "almost" 300 million registered accounts, and we're talking about China alone.
This became known at an event by NetEase, which publishes Minecraft in the Middle Kingdom. Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad noted on Twitter that the game is free in this country on PC and mobile devices. Therefore, naturally, we are not talking about sales.
If we talk about the world outside of China, sales of Minecraft have reached 180 million copies. It is known that the total number of monthly active users is 112 million (in October 2018 there were 90 million). Minecraft's growth in China has been rapid. The game was released in the country in 2017 and reached 100 million downloads in less than a year. Over the next five months, another 50 million were added to this number, and the same amount by May of this year.
Minecraft has gained another 100 million Chinese players in just six months, according to new data.
