Minecraft Is The Third Most Played Xbox Live Title

Posted by Steve Hannley on 16 May 2012

Last week, we published an article about Minecraft being the fastest selling Xbox Live Arcade title ever. Considering the monster sales, we knew this game would be big, but who would have guessed this big?

According to Major Nelson, Minecraft was the third most played game on Xbox Live the past week. To put that into perspective, it’s the most played non-CoD game online. More people played Minecraft than Halo, Gears of War and Skyrim. Insane.

One day I plan to expose my child to no American history besides what they can pick up from playing Assassin's Creed III. Then I'm going to drop him or her into a Social Studies class and mildly enjoy the outcome. I'm going to be a great father.
