February 2026 averaged 54.3 million users, a slight uptick from January’s 52.87 million. December 2025 saw the highest average at 55.18 million, likely driven by holiday activity and winter break.

Minecraft Demographics

The average Minecraft player is 24 years old, according to Mojang Studios head Helen Chiang. Players aged 15 to 21 make up 43% of the user base, while the 22 to 30 bracket accounts for 21%. About 20.6% of players are under 15. The gender split leans 54% male and 32% female, with the remaining percentage unidentified or undisclosed. Around 80% of younger players regularly play with friends or family members rather than solo.

The game’s appeal to a wide age range separates it from shooters like Rainbow Six Siege o Rocket League, both of which skew more heavily toward 18-to-34-year-olds.

Minecraft Copies Sold Over Time

Minecraft announced 300 million copies sold at the 2024 Minecraft Live event, and the total has since surpassed 350 million. That makes it the second best-selling game of all time behind Tetris (520+ million). Annual unit sales accelerated after the 2020 lockdowns, when Mojang saw a 25% player increase. Microsoft acquired Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014. Given that the franchise has earned over $4.2 billion in game sales alone, the deal has paid for itself nearly twice over.

Year	Cumulative Copies Sold
2025	350+ million
2023	300 million
2021	238 million
2020	200 million
2019	176 million
