Minecraft Close to 1 Million Sold

Posted January 4, 2011 by Ben Strauss

In what could be described as one of the most spectacular success stories of 2010 in gaming, Minecraft is close to celebrating 1 million units sold. A post from the devblog of Minecraft discusses the recent nominations for the Independent Games Festival, and it comments on the sales numbers for the game.

From the blog: “Oh, and Minecraft will hit 1 million sales soon, and I have NO idea how to celebrate that! There’s no time to plan anything!”

Things seem to be expanding for the group, as the former one-man studio now has a full office, and continues to add employees.
