'Minecraft' now has 112 million Monthly Players

Fortnite might still have the most public attention, but this doesn't mean it's hurting the other phenomenon. Microsoft's Helen Chiang told Business Insider in an interview that Minecraft currently has 112 million active players every month, a surge of 20 million compared to figures from October 2018. This includes all players, including those who play the game via an Xbox Game Pass. However it's still an impressive achievement for a game which has been around in some form for more than a decade.

Chiang explained it as an advantage of the imaginative game's enduring popularity -it's a title players "keep returning to." It's possible to play Fortnite or other games that are in the spotlight but there's a great possibility that you'll be back to building tunnels and homes in Minecraft after that.



Other aspects are also likely to be crucial. On top of its sheer accessibility across platforms, Minecraft's unwieldy graphics and simple gameplay allow you to play on low-end devices, whether it's a budget PC or a smartphone. You can spend a modest amount of money on hardware and still enjoy a high-quality experience.



Microsoft's main challenge at present is to keep the game relevant. The augmented reality feature of Minecraft Earth helps, as does ray-tracing and other attempts to improve the appearance. But it's not clear whether that's enough. Roblox recently reached 100 million monthly players, and Fortnite may not be far from it (it reported 78.3 million users in August 2018). It's not too difficult for other games to be able to capture the cultural zeitgeist.
