Notes

1. ^Although Minecraft was first publicly available on May 17, 2009,^[4] and the 1.0 version on November 18, 2011, the first version of Minecraft which required a paid account was first publicly available on December 23, 2009,^[5] therefore it started accumulating sales in that year.
2. ^This excludes the 1.2 million copies given away as part of Blizzard's World of Warcraft annual pass offer.
3. ^Subscribers are not the same as sales; many Asian markets use a different business model that does not involve retail copies. As such subscriber figures do not equate to sales figures.
4. ^Sold a million copies under the name of H1Z1 while in early access. Not to be confused with the H1Z1 battle royale game by the same company.
