Microsoft publishes that Minecraft has managed to reach the brutal figure of 74 million active players during the month of December, although this data is due to all game platforms.

It was once one of the most popular titles in the video game industry, but its fame has been fading. Minecraft was acquired by Microsoft quite some time ago and it seemed that it was no longer popular, within the video game market. Microsoft has published that during December the game has reached an impressive 74 million active players, a new record for this game, which seems to be still very much alive and has the ability to fight against great titles of the moment.

It does not come to compete directly with Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, a game that we know has passed the brutal figure of three million simultaneous players, selling more than 25 million copies, only on PC and in terms of console, it is breaking records. Just below is Fortnite, which is also of the Battle Royale type and is characterized by being free. This game has reached 40 million players, although simultaneously it is estimated that two million simultaneous players have been reached.

The problem with the Microsoft data is that these data refer to all the platforms on which the game is marketed, being PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, not to mention that this game also It can be enjoyed on a smartphone and tablet, whether Android or iOS. So the data is not comparable with other games, because the specific figure according to platform is not known.

Minecraft has the advantage of being on the market for much longer, although its potential audience is younger than PUBG, in addition, Minecraft is often used a lot in education, in addition to other special fields.
