In just one week, the number of weekly active players of Minecraft grew by 17%, and there was a total increase of 30% in its user base, which already had approximately 170 million.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft is the big winner of this kind of adaptations<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the reinvention of interest in the game, sales of Minecraft on Nintendo Switch also surged by 25% prior to the movie&#8217;s release, with an additional 8% afterwards. <strong>This growth is a testament to the power of adaptation and its effective marketing campaign, in which Microsoft and Warner Bros. collaborated with McDonald&#8217;s to offer a themed menu that attracted the attention of the young audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Una pel\u00edcula de Minecraft | Tr\u00e1iler Oficial\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NOAmJa-dhCA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the movie is not the only Xbox adaptation that has seen recent success. <strong>The Fallout series on Prime Video became the second most-watched show on the platform, achieving an astonishing 345% increase in sales of the franchise&#8217;s games, despite the fact that these were already available on Xbox Game Pass and other subscription services<\/strong>. The popularity of Devil May Cry, Fallout, and a Minecraft movie reflects a positive shift in video game adaptations, which have historically had a very low success rate.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Minecraft movie continues to gain popularity, <strong>rumors of a possible sequel are emerging, which could help maintain interest in the franchise and repair the image affected by the criticism of other adaptations, such as the Halo series<\/strong>. Undoubtedly, these latest adaptations from Microsoft are reshaping the narrative around video game properties in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Minecraft\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/b276c62c-96bf-11e6-ad7b-00163ec9f5fa\/545667155\/minecraft-download-Minecraft-Java-&amp;-Bedrock-Edition-for-Windows.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Minecraft<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent adaptations of Xbox properties are surprising the entertainment world by achieving better-than-expected performance.
