The simple graphics and LEGO-like design feed into this perception – but according to Microsoft, it’s simply not the case, and the average age of a Minecraft player is older than you might think. There is a general perception that its player base skews more towards children. Microsoft acquired Minecraft for a $2.5-billion deal in early 2017 and ever since over 30 million copies of Minecraft have been sold for PC and Mac. It is an incredibly popular game that was created for the first time in the year 2009.
With over 126 million monthly users, 200 million games sold & 40 million MAU, Minecraft still remains one of the biggest games on the planet.
