Minecraft was released on PC, mobile, and international at the same time on the twenty-eighth of September.
A large number of players were already waiting in front of their computers, buying and downloading the game as soon as it was released.
Moreover, Chen Mo made it clear that the PC version of Minecraft could replicate the gameplay of the VR version, just that the graphics would be slightly worse. Mobile, PC, and VR would be interoperable, but the game wouldn't be able to experience online and sightseeing mode.
In terms of price, Minecraft was sold for twenty-eight RMB on PC, twelve RMB on mobile, and thirty-nine US dollars on international.
The international version of Minecraft was only available in VR, and it wasn't as eye-catching as Warcraft or Diablo, so it probably wouldn't be that popular in the short term. It would definitely take some time for it to gain popularity.
However, compared to Chinese players, there were more foreign players who liked to research and create. Moreover, from the performance of the original Minecraft in his previous life, Chen Mo wasn't worried at all.
Chen Mo's focus was still on the PC and mobile versions in China.
Everyone was paying attention to the sales figures for the PC and mobile versions of Minecraft.
The sales figures for the first day were released very quickly.
Minecraft.
Minecraft Mobile.
This number stunned the entire gaming circle once again.
This was completely out of everyone's expectations. Simply put, the PC version sold more than Diablo, while the mobile version sold close to Onmyoji (average downloads in the first week).
Of course, Minecraft wasn't as good as Diablo or Onmyoji due to the cost of development, price, and profit model. But Minecraft was still very successful in terms of sales.
Diablo and Onmyoji's graphics were very high quality, and they were warmed up for a long time before they were released.
Onmyoji in particular had the right timing, location, and people. With the popularity of mobile card games, it was normal for Onmyoji to get a lot of downloads as a free game.
What about Minecraft?
VR, PC, and mobile were sold separately, and the data was interoperable. Many people thought that there was no reason for players to buy the PC and mobile versions of the game if they already bought the VR version. These three platforms would definitely attract some players.
But in reality, this was completely wrong.
Many players who had already bought the VR version bought the PC and mobile versions in one go, and this type of players was the majority.
Many players who didn't play the VR version also bought the PC or mobile version to try out the game.
The reason for this was that Minecraft was a special game.
Because the mobile version was the cheapest, many players who wanted to experience the classic gameplay of the game would download it.
On the other hand, the PC version was the most comprehensive model. Compared to the VR version, it was more convenient and could be used for a long time. The art and controls were better than the mobile version. Therefore, many players who already bought the VR version would choose to buy the PC version as well.
Moreover, the popularity of the VR version of Minecraft had grown since its release. Many players were looking forward to the release of the PC and mobile versions, which was one of the reasons why the game sold so much as soon as it was released.
With the release of Minecraft on PC and mobile, many players who wanted to play the game but couldn't get their hands on it were finally able to experience the appeal of the game.
"This newbie has finally gotten the PC version today. Can you please carry me? Which server should I play on?"
"Speaking of which, the PC version is pretty good. Although it's not as good as the VR version, it still has the classic gameplay, and most importantly, the data is interoperable. This is awesome!"
"The mobile version is okay too, but I can play it anywhere!"
"After playing the PC version of Minecraft, I'm even more determined to buy a VR gaming pod. I feel like playing the game in VR would be even more fun."
"After building a house on the PC for a while, I finally understood what you guys meant by 'Another People's World'. I'm going to dismantle this matchbox I'm building now. Don't stop me!"
...
On the other hand, the international version of Minecraft was also well received overseas.
Many players were confused at first, wondering why the Chinese company that made Warcraft and Diablo would make a puzzle game.
However, after the players played the game, they were shocked by its playability. The international version of Minecraft sold quite well, and in terms of ratings, it was even higher than Diablo.
Some enthusiastic foreign players also began to import some classic building videos and educational videos from China. In some communities and small circles, this building game also began to attract the attention of players. More and more technical geeks began to delve into the deeper mysteries of this game.
...
On this day, two special guests came to the experience store.
As Chen Mo was thinking about what to do next in the office, the receptionist on the first floor called to tell him that a father with his daughter came to the experience store and wanted to see him.
Chen Mo went to the first floor, and as expected, it was Nini.
Nini was very happy to see Chen Mo. She ran over and handed the tablet to Chen Mo.
The father said, "Nini, hurry up and thank uncle Chen Mo."
Nini said cutely, "Thank you uncle Chen Mo!"
Chen Mo corrected her, "It's brother Chen Mo! Got it? "
Nini nodded, "Got it, uncle Chen Mo!"
Chen Mo was speechless.
The father was also amused by Nini, "Thank you so much for last time."
Chen Mo waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's my honor to have a small player like Nini. By the way, there's a VR pod in the new experience store, you can take Nini there. "
Nini cheered, "Daddy, Nini wants to play with the VR pod!"
The father rubbed her head helplessly, "Alright, daddy got it. I'll take Nini to play with the VR pod."
Chen Mo smiled, "Just take the lift to the third floor. Nini, you can only play for an hour. "
Nini was already skipping towards the lift, "Got it, uncle Chen Mo!"
Chen Mo was speechless.
As the lift closed, Nini was still waving excitedly at Chen Mo.
Seeing how happy Nini was, Chen Mo knew that bringing Minecraft to this world was the right decision. At least for Nini, the game brought her a lot of joy.
