Why is Roblox losing players? 🤔

Does anyone have a graph of last year? I wonder how it compares. This year's summer was unusually huge. I wonder if the growth is just leveling out from that surge.

I think that’s definitely what’s happening. It’ll probably level off higher than where it was last year. Just the giant influx of players from GAG/SAB are dipping a bit.

Isn't Roblox getting banned in new countries like every week

Well maybe if THIS wasn't the first thing people saw when going to the Roblox games Page, more people would be playing

I'm curious what these graphs look like when filtered by region. Seems as though certain regions that weren't as active on Roblox in previous years are responsible for a lot of the big player surges and because of that I wonder if seasons effect their availability differently. I noticed the "floor" went up at the end of the graph, but the "ceiling" got lower. I feel like that could also be an indication of this as well.

It’s 100% - New Guidelines and Rules - Lawsuits and countries banning Roblox - People are getting banned for no reason (causing fear they’ll be next) Roblox generally are just not good at their PR and just wont listen to the community fast enough unless it gets really bad. (and it’s obvious)

Question about your theory: If players of specific games (like GaG/SAB) stop playing Roblox entirely, what do they switch to instead? 🤔

Honestly I'm not sure. I doubt GAG and SAB players were ever into Fortnite. Most of them also seem to be mobile players. So I'm guessing back to whatever mobile game purgatory they were in before. A lot of people mention Clash in my SAB streams so maybe that.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Let’s make Clash of Clans on Roblox then lol

It’s a lack of bots. That player count was unsustainable. It’s no surprise bot farms were using thousands of accounts (each) on GaG and SaB - especially during admin abuse.

All the Fortnite kids moved to Grow a Garden and Brainrot. Now that the hype is dying, they’re going back to Fortnite.

I think what we saw in the summer was explosive ‘hockey’ stick growth. This brought a lot of new players to the platform, who had fun playing whilst GaG was super trendy and have since dropped off. It’s now fallen to its previous trajectory - the platform still is up YoY. The platform is however becoming more like steam - if you play a game, you play that one game and barely stray to others. This is a sign of ageing up - older players correlate time, money spent as progression and want to not deviate. It’s still a very strong Q4 for Roblox, but it was expected to be less then Q3 because it’s impossible keep the explosive growth

It's only going to lose more as time goes on, just you wait

I think we all know the reason why it's happening.

more people spend time with their family shocker

i think i've seen people quit roblox also due to the fact that you can't find good games on roblox all there is on there is just copy paste slop bullshit that i don't want to play and good games like for example nullscape or grace om are hidden with their low player count

Roblox losing player have it's reason: - Chat age verification for players (main reason) - There is not enough games to grab attention -Countries banning and lawsuits at Roblox - Roblox player ageing from young to older - Not enough new players - Bots

1. roblox banned in many countries + drama 2. roblox age verification + moderation 3. games doesn't feel the same anymore Even if you see roblox player count going down, is still the most played game in entire world, so it doesn't change a lot.

Watch them reverse the age verification update shortly after this.

The recent enforcement ban wave has likely hurt the player count, as many people are staying off the platform out of fear that their accounts could be banned next. For those who have already been affected, the appeal process is difficult and often frustrating to deal with.

Ngl the only thing keeping me in roblox is pet sim. It was what brought me back in 2021 and the only thing keeping me now. I do hop on other games from time to time and play them for a bit, but I rarely enjoy it enough to keep playing more let alone watch content about them.

that's pretty logic tbh Roblox has been turning more and more corporate and soul-less, removing all its colors from the platform making it un-appealing Front page games are slop made for 10 years olds that were raised on a fucking ipad and soon the age check requirement to chat

I think another contribute is the schlep situation, as many people may not wanted to play the game anymore given the problems that have been happening on the platform

There also the age chat thing Everyone is on school break rn, so ofc there a lot of kids But there probably a chance people literally can't chat in the game so there no reason to play half of the roblox games roblox making the age verification thing made kids leave the game

Nobody believed GAG and Brainrot players would stay on the platform in significant numbers, so CCU peaks isnt a good metric Average CCU is a better metric It tells the story of a platform with a bad reputation bleeding players

Probably because parents are stopping their kids from playing because of the Schlep situation + the fact Roblox is getting banned everywhere

Agreed 🙌

because innocent players are getting all of their accounts permanently banned for something that their siblings may have done

because its banned like everywhere lmao

The CCU drop between Q3 2024 and Q4 2025 was 4.22%. The projected drop between Q3 2025 and Q4 2025 is 8.86%. And that’s off a record breaking Q3 2025. Here are my projections for Q4. 139.16M DAU’s (+63.14% YOY) $16.50 ABDAU (+3.3% YOY) $2.296B Bookings (+68.6% YOY)

The only thing keeping me in Roblox is the character I created in there I took over 6 years building up my characters design just to perfect it I'm so not ready to transfer to another game

It is deserved, as they are forcing age verification and segregating users by age. Not only is this facial scan tech inaccurate, but it can lead to more kids being groomed in the long-term. #boycottroblox is the only way to reverse this, join the movement and #boycottroblox now!

because it’s boring and there’s no tongue tongue tongue saher

I disagree and here’s why: peak player concurrency is not an effective indication of engagement, especially when it’s driven by short lived game update spikes. Instead, average CCU is a better proxy of engagement levels and that declined 12% sequentially in Q4, mostly driven by seasonality.

I think its because before the age verification update roblox ccu count was doing fine. Until when it rolled out for everyone over the whole world. I think players might have decided to quit because of it.

bc of the age chat thingy

I play around 10-15 difrent roblox games a day.

Hmmm 🤔
