Minecraft annual revenue reportedly makes around $100 million, according to an entry on the Redmond-based tech giant employee’s LinkedIn page.
Jeff Y., who then served as game developer before being promoted to senior leadership a year after, reported the figure and said that he helped to develop key features for the game and solve many bugs, which led to increased engagement, quality, and maintaining usability (Shoutout to @bpgprad222 on X for the findings)
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD still performing well.
The platform breakdowns really show how irrelevant xbox has come for selling software.
1 Hogwarts Legacy Switch 41%, PS5 26%, PS4 24%, Xbox 5%
2 EA Sports FC 24 Switch 34%, PS5 28%, PS4 26%, Xbox 12%
Yea, you can see why some developers and publishers are increasingly starting to skip XBox all together. Unless you're in a small minority of successful and highly played Gamepass games, you're pretty much taking a payout on your game just to rot and die on the service.
Not that surprising, the Switch has some killer exclusive titles, so people have to own a Switch to play them.
Minecraft's bundles promise to shakeup the game's inventory woes, and its approach should be applied to similar frustrations.
Several mobs have been designed but left unused in Minecraft's history despite their potential, including the hostile illusioner mob.
I think $100 million would be an understatement. Minecraft Mobile alone generated around $100 million of revenue last year ( https://www.statista.com/st... The PC and console versions alone probably rake in considerable revenues too, maybe more or less than mobile.
Lol!
100 Million annual is what Minecraft has been making in revenue just on Mobile.
It´s the best selling game in history with more than 300 million copies sold across all platforms supported.
Minecraft literally prints money!
I always wrote this game off as a kids game, but I'm actually starting to get hooked in VR this summer. Something about experiencing the grand scale of everything surrounding you. I mainly got into it bc it is a way to keep in contact with my nephew, who grew up a Minecraft obsessed kid, and now 10 or so years later moved off to another country here in his 20's. It's really an experience that needs to be shared I think. I could never get into the flat version when I tried solo.
I've started experimenting w Mods and have tried the Nvidia RTX ray tracing maps, which actually made me appreciate the flat game for the first time! Truth is, I can't stand the base graphics. Even in VR I keep it modded. But I think a lot of appeal really comes from modding, the open ended possibilities.
I completely understand other adults not getting into it. I was one of them until recently, but maybe try playing w a child or niece or nephew and you may find yourself enjoying that bonding time. We just got my 6 1/2 year old daughter in on it a few weeks ago. My nephew on PC, daughter on the PS5 and myself on PC VR all playing together She's already gotten some of the crafting down. Her laughs and smiles make it worth it and make me feel like a kid again. :)
soo...profit at what? $50mil? still a long way to make back that $2bil MS paid for them.
$100M/Year revenue, not profit, is too low, no way Minecraft is doing this bad. This would make the $2.5bi purchased a terrible deal, i mean, even $200M/Year revenue would, like, configure a bad deal.
