YouTube celebrates 1 trillion views of Minecraft content on the platform

If you go to Youtube today, you will notice that the logo looks slightly different and is animated to celebrate the 1 trillion views of Minecraft content on Youtube. It’s a pretty remarkable achievement for a game that came out in 2011, and it’s only gotten bigger and better since then to not only retain a good chunk of its original audience, but also attract a new, fresh installment year after year.

Minecraft, despite its relatively simple premise and game loop, has grown into one of the most expansive and free-to-play experiences you can get in games today. So much so that just playing the game isn’t its only attraction, as evidenced by the trillions of views of Minecraft content on Youtube.

Minecraft content hits 1 trillion views on Youtube

Some of the biggest streamers and content creators have started today and got most of their subscribers through Minecraft content. Creators like Dream and TheAtlanticCraft continue to garner millions of views every month and experiment with new kinds of content to keep the Minecraft community alive and entertained. The game easily has one of the largest gaming communities and with each new update the game manages to add a ton of value to what is already a pretty fantastic experience.

Minecraft content has also been a big hit in India, with creators like TechnoGamerz capitalizing on this wave. Its latest update, Caves and Cliffs Part 2, has been one of the most highly anticipated updates to the game, and it has undoubtedly brought a whole new group of players to the game, both new and returning. Despite its age, it doesn’t look like Minecraft’s popularity will wane anytime soon. Anyway, the future of the game and the content creator community on platforms like Youtube and Twitch still looks pretty bright.
