However, that history is proof that is far from the case, with the videogame industry now worth a staggering $200 billion in 2022. Video games have become the ultimate form of entertainment not just for kids, but for adults too, enabling them to fulfill all their fantasies in the virtual world which would be impossible otherwise. Be it Spider-Man and save New York City against the Sinister Six? No problem. Want to be part of the Italian Mob and take on rival gangs in 1930s Chicago? Of course. Video games allow you to be just about anything imaginable. It is due to this that the virtual world of gaming has been highly successful so far, with video games raking in millions of dollars. However, some of them stand above the rest. From Minecraft to GTA 5, check out the top 5 best-selling video games of all time with the full list of 10 at the bottom. ## 1. Minecraft (2011) - 300 million units Minecraft, developed by Mojang Studios, is a sandbox game in a world where players can explore, build, fight, or simply survive.
