Minecraft Legends may have released alongside highly anticipated AAA games with far more influential marketing campaigns, but that hasn’t stopped it from falling into the hands of an impressive number of players. Just two weeks after launch, Minecraft Legends has apparently already been played by over 3 million gamers.

Alongside this announcement, Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive are releasing the first hotfix for the game, bringing some much-needed fixes and improvements to Minecraft Legends.
