By the year 1989, the physical game has sold more than 35 million copies. Another 35 million were sold along with the original Game Boy release. Plus, there are 425 million paid downloads of Tetris’s mobile app. All these figures come from an old VentureBeat interview year 2014, and the sales have not slowed down.
Considering that:
- Minecraft sold 238+ million copies, and
- Grand Theft Auto V sold 150+ million copies
Tetris remains the best-selling game of all time.
