Youtube celebrates 1 trillion views on minecraft

Minecraft has become one of the world’s most beloved and best-selling games, with 140 million monthly unique players globally. Today, Dec. 15, it reaches new achievement, and it’s a big one: 1 trillion views on YouTube. YouTube is celebrating with a mob of fun features. There’s a Minecraft-themed takeover of the YouTube homepage and creators are sharing their favorite Minecraft memories using #MinecraftMuseum over on YouTube’s Instagram. On their impressive interactive site, you can calculate your personal contribution to those 1 trillion views , explore top content trends by country, and see the biggest Minecraft creator by year. The Minecraft community on YouTube consists of over 35,000 established creators across 150 countries and territories, all of which have helped maintain Minecraft as the most-watched video game topic on YouTube for years. Minecraft is one of the best Xbox games you can play right now, but it’s also a lot of fun just watching what other people can do with it. Minecraft recently launched its latest update, Caves and Cliffs Part 2, which brings a handful of new additions to the game. In an age when tech companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft are worth more than $1 trillion, it seems like just another number. But for Mojang Studios, the Stockholm-based development team that created Minecraft, it’s a reminder that the game has been growing steadily. It’s kept going up,” said Lydia Winters, Mojang Studios’ chief storyteller, who started her career making videos about Minecraft on YouTube before she was hired to a team of seven people about a decade ago. The game’s appeal has continued to grow, even since Microsoft bought Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion.

Congratulations YouTube and Mojang Studio for this achievement.
