How much does Minecraft make a day?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an online gaming analyst who has followed Minecraft since its early days, I estimate the game currently generates an average of $1.5 million in gross daily revenue based on its total projected 2023 takings of $550 million.

To fully appreciate these stunning figures, let‘s analyze the game‘s money-making prowess from multiple angles…

Baseline Sales Remain Strong

While sales have predictably tapered from the 2020 peak, Minecraft moved over 10 million copies across all platforms in 2022. Daily unit sales come out to a respectable 27,000+ copies per day. With an average selling price of $25, baseline sales should contribute around $675,000 in daily revenue this year.

In-Game Spending Dwarfs Sales

In-game transactions from loyalty subscriptions, skins, texture packs and access to third-party servers now make up the lion‘s share of revenue. With 140 million monthly active users as of 2023, conservatively estimating just 5% spend an average of $5 monthly, this in-game spending totals $350,000 per day.

Platform Breakdown – Bedrock Rules

Bedrock versions span mobile, Windows 10 and consoles, now significantly out-earning the original Java platform. Fueled by in-game spending, daily Bedrock revenue is estimated at $1.2 million vs. $300,000 for Java.

Still Growing After All These Years

In an ever-evolving games market, Minecraft‘s earning power defies even bullish predictions. 2023 sales could tally $550 million, up 45% from 2021 on surging post-pandemic engagement. Few titles demonstrate this level of longevity.

With exciting developments like the metaverse, NFT integrations and an AR mobile title in the works, expect these eye-popping daily revenue figures to continue swelling rather than shrinking. Minecraft‘s economic and cultural cachet remains diamond-hard.
