F2P China Version: 200 million - mid of May 2019 150 million - end of October 2018 100 million - mid of May 2018
- Released in 2009, purchased by Microsoft in 2014 at 60 million sales.
- Now at 176 million sales in 2019, in 4 months Minecraft will have been under Microsoft longer than it was independently owned.
- Which means in 5 years it did 60 million under Mojang, under Microsoft in 5 years it's done 116 million.

How much left is there to cover the 2 billion Microsoft spent on this franchise? I wonder how much Microsoft got it's money back currently ah?

They got it all back, +110 million sales alone + education version and Chinese free to play version + merchandise + other minecraft related games + the DLC/mash packs and monthly realms that cost 5$ for a month and has milllions of subscribers.
