Open world construction game Minecraft has been named the most-uploaded game of all time on YouTube.
More hours of the Microsoft–owned game have been uploaded than any other game, YouTube revealed as part of its ten year anniversary celebrations.
YouTube launched 10 years ago, back in February 2005. Since then more than 42m Minecraft-related videos have been uploaded. Minecraft is also YouTube’s second biggest search term.

He added: “It’s a testament to Mojang (Minecraft’s developers) understanding the marketing capacity and power of our content creators.”
