Mojang Studios

Mojang Studios began on 18 June 2009 as Mojang Specifications, the name Markus Persson used while building Minecraft, and Mojang AB was incorporated on 17 September 2010 together with Jakob Porser. Microsoft bought the studio for $2.5 billion in November 2014. It is headquartered in Stockholm and works as a first-party Xbox studio.

It builds the Minecraft series: the original Java Edition, the C++ based Bedrock Edition on consoles and mobile, and spin-offs such as Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends. The original game was written in Java, and the mobile version was rewritten in C++.

Mojang does not publish a current headcount on the pages checked. Wikipedia cites about 600 employees in 2021, up from 25 in November 2012. Its headquarters is in Stockholm; other locations are not confirmed from the company's own pages.
