Online Roblox game Grow a Garden hit a new record of 16.4 million concurrent players on June 14, 2025, just a month after it broke Roblox’s in-house all-time peak of 5 million concurrent players in a single game on May 17, 2025.

With a peak of 16,411,769 concurrent players, estimated by RoMonitor Stats, Grow a Garden surpassed Fortnite’s once-seemingly unattainable record of 15.3 million concurrent users, which the game reached during the pandemic on Dec. 2, 2020.

Grow a Garden’s gameplay offers players all the core mechanics of virtual gardening, such as planting seeds, growing crops and breeding different animals. One of the game’s major features, which became its slogan, is that the player’s garden “Grows Offline,” even when they are out of the game, motivating users to return and see what has evolved during their absence.

Launched on March 26, 2025, Grow a Garden is playable on all platforms where Roblox operates, including both Android and iOS smartphones, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S both macOS and Windows PCs, Meta Quest VR, as well as multiple PC VR headsets, such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
