The Minecraft Marketplace once again had a huge month. Fans showed up for 3,320,063 free and premium downloads through the in-game store. That’s down from 4.56 million in January and 10.8 million in December. But year-over-year, downloads increased 791 percent from 372,509 downloads.
That huge growth has come due in part to the attention that Microsoft and The Minecraft Team are giving the service. The developer has added features like search and real-money prices. And the team has also worked to regularly deliver free content to keep people coming back.Recommended videosPowered by AnyClipFortnite-Themed Xbox One May Be In The WorksPlayUnmuteCurrent Time 0:01/Duration 0:30Loaded: 100.00% FullscreenUp Next
All of that has paid off, and now the Minecraft Marketplace’s future seems very bright.
Let’s get to the charts.
