Tetris (1984) was the best-selling video game of all time from 1993 until 2020, when it was surpassed by Minecraft (2009). However, it should be noted that 17 years includes all ports of the game, which vary technically from one version to the next. The now-defunct mobile version developed by EA had alone sold over 100 million copies, making it the third best-selling game after Minecraft and GTA V (2013). The Tetris franchise as a whole has sold nearly 500 million copies, making it the second best-selling game franchise after Mario
