Roblox Statistics 2023: Active Users, Revenue, Valuation & Trends

Founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and launched in September 2006, Roblox is an online-based gaming platform that allows its users to either create games and enjoy with friends or play games without creating.

In its initial phase of launch, it struggled to gain the attention and interest of the online game audience, but today it has sunk its root deep into the online game industry, raking in millions of revenue monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

Roblox Statistics

In April 2021, Roblox amassed a mouth-gaping 202 million monthly active users, an increase from the 146 million it was in 2020. However, the platform has recorded its highest growth in 2020, amounting to 80 million users as of December 2020, as against 113 million it left off in 2019.

The surge in the number of users was linked to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. Kids and adults, too, resorted to online activities to keep their minds active by interacting with one another. Therefore, amongst other online games platforms, Roblox recorded a significant increase in its users during this period.

In the United States, it is estimated that 3 out of every 4 children between the ages of 9 and 12 play Roblox, subsequently helping game creators generate passive income. Some creators have made almost half a million dollars, and that’s enough to set up a team of game creators to generate more income.

In this article, we shall further evaluate and illustrate the statistics of this amazing gaming platform through numbers to help you properly understand the milestones that it has attained over the years.

For Roblox, it is not just about generating revenue from the in-game transactions as with other online gaming platforms but also about how they go about it. Even though advertising and other income-generating do not account for much revenue generated by the platform, it gives them an option of fully taking advantage of those areas by monetizing them in the future. However, the value of Roblox has been said to have dropped to $20 million in 2022.


How Does Roblox Make Money?

The platform uses a Freemium model, which allows its users to play the games. However, if they wish to access advanced features of the games, they are required to buy the in-game currency called Robux from their bank account to carry out their game transactions.

The platform then takes 47.5% of the money spent on games. It spends this money in three dimensions: for future development and research, platform hosting plans, and operation costs. The other 52.5% is chatted between the game creator and AppStore and payment processing fee. Roblox is estimated to make $12.50 for every 1000 Robux (Roblox in-game currency) sold.

Roblox corporation stock opened at $64.50 on its first trading day, which is way more than its reference price of $45, and then went ahead to hit the $90s dollars at a time when many high-growth stocks were barely keeping their heads above the water.

Conclusion

Giving creators the liberty to create a game they like and have friends play together is what makes Roblox stands out among its competitors. The platform has the liberating box to see that users earn income and also enjoy playing games.

The company does not create games, it leaves that for the creator users to do that while they both smoke to the bank, but leaving the larger chunk of the proceedings to the creator.

So, now you see that Roblox is not there to entertain its users, it also helps put something in their pockets. Are you thinking about being part of its users? Well, that's not a bad idea.
