Minecraft has sold more than 20m copies on Windows and Mac platforms, developer Mojang has announced.

The PC edition of the game reached 15m sales last April and 10m sales in April 2013 – meaning the game has barely fallen off its torrid pace years after its release.

20 million copies of Minecraft PC sold. Thst is crazy,” Mojang’s Daniel Kaplan said on Twitter. Thanks everyone for supporting us and thanks for stickning [sic] with us for so long!”

The Microsoft-owned studio revealed earlier this week that it will be shutting down its digital card game Scrolls, with plans to close servers in July 2016.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
