“Celebrating 1,000,000,000,000 views of @Minecraft videos. Thanks to you & all the creator who built this special place on YouTube,” the platform wrote on Twitter in response to which Minecraft wrote, “You built this community! You built this community by digging holes! This one is all about YOU players – thank you so much!”
The Microsoft-owned video game became a global sensation and started popping up on YouTube in 2009 and the content related to this has only grown. The game, developed by the Swedish owned Mojang Studios, has become extremely popular between kids and adults alike.
During Minecraft Live 2021, Mojang Studios revealed that Minecraft continues to grow in scale and community over time, with over 141 million monthly active users reported in August 2021.
It was also shared that Minecraft was the most-watched topic on YouTube in 2020 with over 201 billion combined views, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the game has now surpassed one trillion views in total near the end of 2021.
