Popular Roblox game Adopt Me! has proved to be an extremely popular mode since it launched in 2017. The animal-raising RPG seems to only be growing in popularity, however, and has repeatedly broken Roblox records along the way.
Roblox is a free-to-play platform that gives third-party developers a toolset to develop and release their own game modes within its infrastructure. The game allows players to jump between multiple games with only one account, and there is an impressive variety available. There are Roblox versions of every genre on the market with most of them being entirely free for players to jump into them and play.
Adopt Me! sees players collecting different themed eggs to hatch and collect different pets of various rarities to care for and raise. Roblox is incredibly popular, and the new record set by Adopt Me! indicates just how massive the platform is. Josh Ling, the developer of Adopt Me!, tweeted recently that with the game's new Ocean Egg update on April 17, it reached a new concurrent player record for all of Roblox at a staggering 1.92 million players. The record broke the previous record of 1.78 million players that was also set by the game.
Adopt Me! does design its updates to strive for the large player spikes at release by encouraging its players to log in at a specific time to experience a live countdown leading to the launch of the update. Regardless, the numbers are extremely impressive. The game also boasts other impressive statistics, such as Adopt Me! reaching the incredible milestone of being played 20 billion times early last March. Even without the launch of a new update the game trends between 400,000 and 700,000 concurrent players.
Roblox has managed to steadily grow an extremely impressive player base and is only continuing to grow. The platform's sheer variety of experiences on offer lets Roblox have something to offer nearly every player, and it seems that Adopt Me! has managed to find quite an audience amidst the platform's marketplace. With the game's approachability, cute animals, and frequent injections of new content, it is not surprising that Adopt Me! has grown so large on the platform. While other Roblox game mode Brookhaven, one focused on fantasy role-playing, has managed to frequently get close to Adopt Me!'s dominating player levels, it seems that the reign of Adopt Me! will not be over anytime soon.
Roblox is available now on Android, iOS, Mac, PC, and Xbox One.
