During a recent live stream event, the Minecraft team let it be known that over 144 million copies of the game have been sold over all of its platforms. In addition, December was a huge month for the game with over 74 million unique players taking part in the fun. "That's really a testament to people coming back to the game, whether it's through the game updates or bringing new players from across the world", said Helen Chiang.
Minecraft has big plans for Switch and the team hopes to bring even more people to "Bedrock" through Nintendo's platform when it launches later in 2018. In addition, the goal is to continue to expand features in the game starting with the upcoming Aquatic update. Lastly, the new graphics engine is still on the table with something called the "superduper graphics pack".
