A lot of people still don’t watch streams, spend their days on YouTube, or spend it playing Minecraft. While people are quick to point to Twitch to showcase Fortnite‘s popularity, it just goes to show that streaming isn’t everything: Fortnite generally breaks over 100,000 concurrent viewers daily and at the time of this post Minecraft is at 4,000. And with over 150 million sold they’re the second-best selling game ever: only behind Tetris. That’s a lot of revenue streams to rely on.

A lot of those players not only purchased the base game, but additional platforms for family members, skins, texture packs, and possibly monthly server subscriptions. Speaking to Business Insider, Minecraft Studio Head Helen Chiang confirmed that Minecraft currently boasts over 91 million active players monthly, which beats out the 78 million Fortnite numbers. Fortnite’s massive success doesn’t appear. That accessibility has translated to sales and a still-active playerbase. The company has revealed that Fortnite has topped 350 million registered players which marks another 100 million users added in just over a year. It’s one of the most accessible games of all time. MAU also can be used as a tool to assess visitor engagement over a period of time. MAU is used when awarding items in the Crown of Os series. It’s just as popular as ever, appeals to pretty much all ages and skill levels, and is now universally playable across pretty much every platform on the planet (even VR!), most of which are connected with cross-play. Monthly active users (often abbreviated to MAU) is a number representing how many unique users have visited a Roblox experience within that calendar month. Just in case you thought it wasn’t popular anymoreĪt this point people who refer to Minecraft as a fad are just as ridiculous as the folks who said the same thing about Pokemon in the early 2000s.
