Best-selling videogame

The best-selling videogame of all time is the literal blockbusting sandbox Minecraft (Mojang, 2011). This seemingly-basic block-buster, lead by a now-iconic blue-t-shirted skin named Steve, has sold over 350 million units, as confirmed by the developers Mojang in the official Minecraft Annual 2026, listed in April 2025.

Minecraft began life as a free-to-play alpha in May 2009, before getting an official 1.0 launch in 2011. It surpassed 300 million in sales on 15 October 2023, becoming the first videogame to do so.
