February saw a huge jump in downloads in the Minecraft Marketplace. Players on PC, mobile, and Xbox consoles downloaded 372,509 pieces of content from various creators, which is up from 239,062 in January. Multiple new releases drove that increased Marketplace action, and you’ll see this in the sales chart.
Every month on GamesBeat, I dive into the shop to see what is selling. You can take a look at past results right here. As predicted in January, the Minecraft audience was hungry for new content, and they showed up for the launches like City Life, Juliette’s Manor, and Love Dropper. Those three experiences have shot to the top of the chart and replaced other, repeat favorites. Of course, everyone knows the only content that I need this month is Teens!, which really speaks to my demographic.
Here’s the top 10 for February:
