The blocky sandbox game that is so popular Minecraft is close to 54 million copies sold across all platforms, claims Mojang's Patrick Geuder, who also added via Twitter that the console (Xbox 360 and PS3) versions of the game have now outsold sales of PC and Mac versions. games The game will be available on Xbox One, PS4 and Vita in August, the latter being compatible with Cross-Buy, free for those with the PS3 version. Xbox 360 and PS4 owners who have the game on their Xbox 360 or PS3 will now be able to download the most recent versions for $5.
The first version of Minecraft was released in May 2009. This was two years prior to its official release in November. Mojang and its creator Markus "Notch" Persson have celebrated many sales milestones since then, recently noting that 15 million copies of the PC version were sold by April. In the same month the Xbox 360 version reached 12 million sold, while the Pocket Edition for iOS and Android achieved the 21 million mark. [Image: Mojang]
