Ever wonder who’s behind the blocky, endlessly creative world of Minecraft? Well, you’re not alone! It’s a question that pops up quite a bit: does Microsoft own Minecraft?

Let’s dive into this question and clear up any confusion once and for all. Who really owns Minecraft, and what does that mean for gamers like us?

Yes, Microsoft Owns Minecraft

In a move that surprised many gamers and industry experts alike, Microsoft announced its acquisition of Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, back in 2014. This means that, yes, Microsoft does indeed own Minecraft.

By shelling out a hefty $2.5 billion, Microsoft not only got its hands on Minecraft but also brought the talented team at Mojang into its fold. This acquisition allowed Microsoft to expand Minecraft’s reach, introducing it to new platforms and integrating it with their technology ecosystem.
