According to Roblox’s latest official financial results, the platform averaged 123 million daily active users (DAUs) during Q2 2026.
Those users generated 29 billion hours of engagement during the quarter. Roblox’s DAUs were still 10% higher year-on-year, although the total has fallen from the extraordinary 151.5 million DAU peak recorded in Q3 2025.
That distinction is important. Roblox has not suddenly lost most of its audience. Instead, user numbers have been falling sequentially from an unusually strong 2025 peak, while remaining higher than the equivalent period a year earlier.
There is also no reliable official number showing exactly how many people are playing Roblox at this second. Roblox reports average daily users each quarter rather than publishing a Steam-style live concurrent-player counter.
Here are the numbers that matter most.
| Roblox statistic | Latest figure |
| Average daily active users | 123 million |
| Q2 2026 engagement | 29 billion hours |
| Year-on-year DAU growth | 10% |
| Average monthly unique payers | 27 million |
| Approx. daily unique paying users | 1.6 million |
| Q2 2026 revenue | $1.469 billion |
| Q2 2026 bookings | $1.557 billion |
| Officially confirmed platform concurrency record | Over 45 million |
| Third-party estimated all-time concurrency peak | 47,296,412 |
| Age-checked users aged 18+ | 27% |
| Creator earnings during 2025 | More than $1.5 billion |
Roblox reported the DAU, engagement and payer figures through its Q2 shareholder materials and SEC filing. The concurrent-player figures require more explanation because Roblox and third-party tracking services measure them differently.
Roblox Daily Active Users by Quarter
Roblox went through exceptionally rapid growth during 2025 before DAUs started to decline sequentially.
| Quarter | Average Roblox DAUs |
| Q1 2024 | 77.7 million |
| Q2 2024 | 79.5 million |
| Q3 2024 | 88.9 million |
| Q4 2024 | 85.3 million |
| Q1 2025 | 97.8 million |
| Q2 2025 | 111.8 million |
| Q3 2025 | 151.5 million |
| Q4 2025 | 144 million |
| Q1 2026 | 132 million |
| Q2 2026 | 123 million |
Roblox’s official reports and historical datasets show just how unusual the Q3 2025 surge was. Even after falling to 123 million in Q2 2026, the platform still had substantially more daily users than the 79.5 million reported two years earlier in Q2 2024.
Roblox DAU Trend From the 2025 Peak
Average DAUs, in millions
Q3 2025 151.5M | ███████████████
Q4 2025 144.0M | ██████████████
Q1 2026 132.0M | █████████████
Q2 2026 123.0M | ████████████
From Q3 2025 to Q2 2026, average DAUs declined by about 18.8%. Engagement followed the same direction, falling from approximately 39.6 billion hours in Q3 2025 to 29 billion in Q2 2026.
However, comparing only consecutive quarters can be misleading. Q2 2026 DAUs were still 10% higher than Q2 2025, while engagement hours were 5% higher year-on-year.
Why Is the Roblox Player Count Falling?
The decline from 151.5 million DAUs in Q3 2025 to 123 million in Q2 2026 has several identifiable factors rather than one simple explanation.
First, Roblox experienced unusually strong viral growth during 2025. Games including Grow a Garden and Steal a Brainrot generated unprecedented traffic, meaning subsequent quarters were being compared with an unusually high base.
Second, Roblox introduced proactive age checks for communication features globally in January 2026.
Roblox itself said the rollout restricted on-platform communication for users who had not completed the check, diluted communication among some checked users and slowed new-user acquisition during Q1.
Third, Roblox was blocked in Russia in December 2025. The company said that contributed to sequential declines in Q1.
Roblox was reinstated in Russia during June 2026, which provided a modest improvement to Q2 trends, although the late-quarter return meant Russia remained an estimated three-percentage-point drag on year-on-year DAU and engagement growth.
The picture was already improving by Q2. Roblox said new-user sign-ups strengthened through the quarter and retention among existing users remained broadly stable.
So it is more accurate to say Roblox activity has normalised from its 2025 peak than to say the platform is simply collapsing or losing relevance.
How Many People Are Playing Roblox Right Now?
There is no official public Roblox live player counter comparable with Steam’s concurrent-user statistics.
That is one reason searches for “Roblox player count right now” produce wildly different answers.
Roblox does occasionally reveal major concurrency records. In its Q3 2025 shareholder letter, the company confirmed that more than 45 million users were simultaneously online on 23 August 2025.
Third-party Roblox tracker Rotrends records a more precise estimated all-time peak of 47,296,412 concurrent users, also on 23 August 2025. Its live figure changes continuously and therefore should not be confused with Roblox’s quarterly DAU statistic.
Other Roblox tracking services have reported lower platform-wide peaks, including figures in roughly the 42–43 million range. Differences can result from sampling intervals, which experiences a tracker monitors and how quickly individual game servers are aggregated.
The safest way to report the record is therefore:
Roblox has officially confirmed more than 45 million concurrent users. Third-party tracking estimates place the peak at roughly 47.3 million.
That makes the source and methodology clear rather than presenting an unofficial tracker number as a Roblox-published statistic.
Which Roblox Games Created the Biggest Concurrent Player Peaks?
Roblox’s enormous concurrency record was driven partly by individual games achieving player totals that would be remarkable for an entire gaming platform.
Grow a Garden reached roughly 21.6 million simultaneous players during its 2025 surge, while Steal a Brainrot later passed 25 million concurrent users. Roblox specifically highlighted both titles when discussing its record-breaking 2025 engagement.
Roblox’s Q2 2026 report shows that discovery is already moving again. The company highlighted newer experiences including Animal Hospital, Grow a Garden 2 and Kick a Lucky Block as games that moved rapidly into its leading experiences.
Meanwhile, games outside the platform’s top 10 recorded 25% year-on-year growth in engagement hours.
That diversification matters. The top 10 Roblox games generated around 20% of total engagement hours in Q2 2026, compared with approximately 30% three years earlier.
Players interested in the sheer variety behind those statistics can explore the site’s coverage of how to play Type Soul, one of Roblox’s anime-inspired RPGs.
Horror has also become an important part of the wider Roblox ecosystem, with experiences spanning multiplayer survival, puzzles and exploration.
How Many Roblox Players Are There by Region?
Roblox is now a heavily international platform.
Q2 2026 regional data showed:
| Region | Q2 2026 DAUs | YoY growth | Engagement hours |
| US & Canada | 22 million | +6% | 6 billion |
| Europe | 26 million | +1% | 6 billion |
| Asia-Pacific | 41 million | +15% | 10 billion |
| Rest of World | 34 million | +15% | 8 billion |
The international growth figures are particularly important. Asia-Pacific had the largest regional DAU total at 41 million, while Europe recorded 26 million.
Roblox also singled out Japan and India for especially rapid expansion. DAUs increased 67% year-on-year in Japan and 64% in India, while engagement hours increased 61% and 59% respectively.
How Many People Play Roblox in the UK?
Roblox does not currently publish a separate official UK DAU figure in its quarterly reporting.
The closest directly reported user metric is Europe, which had 26 million average DAUs in Q2 2026. That number covers Europe as a region and must not be presented as a UK player total.
Some third-party datasets cited by Roblox statistics websites have estimated that the UK represents around 5% of mobile player spending. However, spending share is not player share, so it cannot reliably be converted into a UK Roblox player count.
For UK players, access can also depend on devices and local network policies. The site’s coverage of Roblox access at school in the UK explains the distinction between approved access and attempts to bypass school network restrictions.
What Age Are Most Roblox Players?
The common idea that practically all Roblox players are young children is increasingly inaccurate.
Roblox now has better age information because of its 2026 age-check programme. By the end of Q2, 57% of global DAUs had completed an age check. Among age-checked users during the seven days ending 30 June 2026:
| Age group | Share of age-checked users |
| Under 13 | 35% |
| 13–17 | 38% |
| 18+ | 27% |
This data comes with an important limitation: it represents age-checked users, not necessarily the entire Roblox population. Roblox itself warns that the distribution can change as more users complete the process.
The adult audience is nevertheless becoming increasingly significant.
In Q1 2026, over-18s represented 26% of age-checked DAUs. In the US, DAUs and engagement hours among over-18 users were both growing around 40% year-on-year at that point, while the 18–34 cohort grew by more than 50%.
Roblox also reported that US over-18 users monetised more than 50% higher than under-18 users.
By Q2, over-18s represented 27% of age-checked users. Roblox said US DAUs among 18–34-year-olds were still growing 42% year-on-year.
Roblox therefore remains extremely popular with younger players, but calling it a platform used almost exclusively by children no longer reflects the company’s own data.
What Is the Roblox Gender Split?
Unlike DAU and age-check statistics, Roblox does not currently provide the same clear quarterly breakdown for gender.
Third-party statistics pages often publish figures such as roughly 53% male and 39% female, but those figures should not be presented as if they are a current Roblox Q2 2026 disclosure. DemandSage, for example, publishes those estimates alongside data collected from several secondary sources.
For a statistics article, marking the gender split as third-party estimated data is more accurate than assigning Roblox an official percentage it has not reported in its latest results.
How Much Time Do People Spend on Roblox?
Roblox users hours during Q2 2026generated 29 billion engagement.
That is down sequentially from approximately:
| Quarter | Hours engaged |
| Q2 2025 | 27.4 billion |
| Q3 2025 | 39.6 billion |
| Q4 2025 | 35 billion |
| Q1 2026 | 31 billion |
| Q2 2026 | 29 billion |
Despite the sequential decline from the Q3 2025 viral peak, Q2 engagement remained 5% higher year-on-year.
The scale becomes easier to understand when looking at Roblox’s 2025 full-year figures. Users spent 123.9 billion hours on the platform during 2025, equivalent to an average of around 2.7 hours per DAU per day according to the company’s annual filing.
The diversity of those sessions is also one of Roblox’s strengths. A player might move between competitive experiences, roleplaying games, social spaces, anime titles or horror games without leaving the platform.
How Much Money Does Roblox Make From Its Players?
Q2 2026 produced approximately $1.469 billion in revenue and $1.557 billion in bookings.
Revenue was up about 36% year-on-year, but bookings grew only 8%.
The distinction matters because Roblox recognises revenue over time, whereas bookings are designed to reflect economic activity such as Robux purchases during the period.
Roblox said the slower bookings performance was partly linked to a shift in engagement away from highly monetising viral games from 2025 towards newer and evergreen experiences that generate less spending per hour.
Changes to its Recommended for You algorithm also deliberately prioritised longer-term player retention over immediate monetisation.
In other words, a fall in monetisation per hour should not automatically be interpreted as the same thing as a fall in player numbers.
How Many Roblox Players Actually Spend Money?
This is one of the most revealing Roblox statistics.
Of the 123 million average DAUs in Q2 2026, approximately 1.6 million were average daily unique paying users. That works out at roughly 1.3% of daily active users.
Roblox separately reported 27 million average monthly unique payers during Q2, up 15% year-on-year. Monthly unique payers outside the US and Canada increased 23%.
These figures explain why “users”, “players” and “payers” should never be used interchangeably.
A user can play Roblox regularly without spending money. Roblox itself says paying users represent a relatively small proportion of its overall audience.
How Big Is the Roblox Creator Economy?
Roblox’s player count matters partly because those users support an increasingly large creator economy.
Roblox disclosed that creators earned more than $1.5 billion during 2025 for the first time.
More than 35,500 creators had qualified and registered for its Developer Exchange programme by the end of that year, with more than 23,500 receiving fiat-currency payments during 2025.
That creator base continues to expand. By 30 June 2026, more than 42,000 creators had qualified and registered for the Developer Exchange programme.
AI tools are also becoming part of Roblox development. In Q2 2026, the company said creators were producing more than 60,000 AI-generated 3D assets per day, while nearly 1,400 games were using Cube-generated content daily.
Those numbers help explain why Roblox is better understood as a gaming platform and creator ecosystem rather than one conventional game.
Does Roblox Have More Concurrent Players Than Steam?
There is evidence that Roblox’s largest 2025 platform-wide concurrency event exceeded Steam’s publicly reported platform record, but this comparison needs a qualification.
Roblox officially confirmed more than 45 million concurrent users on 23 August 2025, while third-party tracking placed the event at roughly 47.3 million.
Reports at the time compared that with Steam’s roughly 41.2 million concurrent-online-user record.
However, Roblox and Steam do not necessarily count users using identical methodologies, so this should be treated as a scale comparison rather than proof that two perfectly equivalent metrics have been measured.
A more useful industry benchmark comes directly from Roblox. The company said that by the end of 2025 it represented approximately 3.4% of the global gaming content market, against its long-term stated objective of reaching 10%.
Why Is Roblox Still So Popular?
Roblox benefits from a combination of scale, user-generated content, social interaction and cross-device accessibility.
Unlike a conventional game with one fixed gameplay loop, Roblox contains millions of user-created experiences. That makes the platform capable of attracting very different audiences—from anime RPG players learning how to play Type Soul to players looking for roleplaying, simulation, horror or competitive multiplayer experiences.
Device availability also influences its reach. Roblox supports major computer, mobile and console environments, although Nintendo remains a notable gap.
Players specifically wondering about Roblox on Nintendo Switch should note that a native official Switch version has not yet been released as of 2026.
Its content base is becoming less dependent on a handful of massive hits too. Games outside the top 10 saw engagement grow 25% year-on-year during Q2 2026, suggesting that a broader range of experiences is contributing to total usage.
Is Roblox Still Growing in 2026?
The answer depends on which comparison is being made.
Year-on-year: yes. Q2 2026 DAUs increased 10% and engagement hours increased 5% from Q2 2025.
Quarter-to-quarter from its peak: no. DAUs have declined from 151.5 million in Q3 2025 to 144 million, 132 million and finally 123 million over the next three reported quarters.
Those statements are not contradictory.
Roblox experienced an exceptional period of viral growth during 2025. Current figures suggest that activity has fallen from that peak while still sitting above the previous year’s level.
International markets are another reason the broader picture remains more complex than a simple decline. Q2 DAUs increased 67% in Japan and 64% in India, and both APAC and Rest of World recorded 15% regional growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people play Roblox every day in 2026?
Roblox averaged 123 million daily active users during Q2 2026, according to its latest official reported results. That was 10% higher than Q2 2025.
How many people play Roblox per month?
Roblox does not currently disclose a directly comparable official MAU figure in its latest quarterly filing. The often-repeated 381.8 million monthly users figure comes from third-party datasets and should not be presented as Roblox’s latest official MAU.
How many people are playing Roblox right now?
There is no official Roblox real-time platform counter. Third-party trackers provide estimates, but their results can differ substantially. Roblox has officially confirmed a platform peak of more than 45 million concurrent users.
What is the highest Roblox player count ever?
Roblox confirmed more than 45 million concurrent users on 23 August 2025. Rotrends records a more precise third-party estimate of 47,296,412 for the same date.
Is Roblox losing players?
Roblox has lost users sequentially from its Q3 2025 peak of 151.5 million DAUs, falling to 123 million by Q2 2026. However, Q2 2026 was still 10% higher year-on-year, so the current trend is better described as a retreat from an exceptional peak rather than a simple year-on-year decline.
Which countries have the most Roblox players?
Roblox does not publish complete country-by-country DAU totals. Regionally, APAC led Q2 2026 with 41 million DAUs, followed by Rest of World with 34 million, Europe with 26 million and US & Canada with 22 million. Japan and India recorded especially rapid growth of 67% and 64% respectively.
How many people play Roblox in the UK?
Roblox does not currently publish a standalone UK DAU figure. Europe as a whole had 26 million average DAUs in Q2 2026, but that should not be treated as a UK-specific player count.
What percentage of Roblox players are adults?
Among users who had completed Roblox’s age-check process at the end of Q2 2026, 27% were aged 18 or over. Because only 57% of global DAUs had completed an age check at that point, this should not be treated as an exact percentage of every Roblox user.
What age group plays Roblox the most?
Among age-checked users at the end of Q2 2026, 38% were aged 13–17, 35% were under 13 and 27% were aged 18 or above.
How many Roblox players spend money every day?
About 1.6 million of Roblox’s 123 million average daily users were daily unique paying users in Q2 2026, equivalent to roughly 1.3%.
How much did Roblox creators earn?
Roblox creators earned more than $1.5 billion during 2025, the first time annual creator earnings passed that level.
