Robloxmetric blog RTrack has now reported that the game reached a new record of 202 million estimated users across the month of April. The impressive stat indicates that the game grew by 10 million users just since the previous month, and placesRobloxcomfortably towards the top of the most played games list. For comparison,Call of Dutyset a new peak last year when it crossed 100 million monthly users whileMinecraftwas recently just approaching 140 million monthly users. Obviously,Robloxpassed those a long time ago, and they are two of the most popular series in the games industry.
While the numbers are estimated and not an official announcement, the increase does come despite developer Roblox Corporation’s statement last year that they expected the player count to dip slightly in early 2021 as the global lockdowns from the pandemic began to ease. The player count is extremely impressive and has seensome games onRobloxreaching some incredible numbers themselves. Of course,Robloxis undoubtedly helped by the simple fact that the game is free-to-play and is only monetized through optional in-game purchases, but that does not make its new player count any less impressive.
The Roblox Corporation just went public last March and theRobloxstock saw a huge surge in its first day on the exchange, but the company’s CEO recently said that the game has yet to turn a profit. Although, the game’s profit numbers have steadily been on the rise, so with the growth in player count it will likely start generating a large profit sooner rather than later. With the new numbers, it will be interesting to see what else is inRoblox’s future, or whether or not the continuing release of the lockdowns will eventually have their expected effect on the massive title.
Robloxis available now on Mobile, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
