Roblox stocks have soared after the online gameplay and game creation platform released its Q2 2025 earnings.
Shares jumped more than 18% pre-market following the earnings release on July 31, after figures showed better-than-expected revenue and bookings.
The results also showed over 111 million daily active users (DAUs), signaling Roblox’s massive popularity and continued growth.
“Roblox” searches are up by 1150% in the last 10 years.
With that in mind, I’ve taken a deep dive into the history, user stats, demographics, and stock performance of the Roblox platform.

What is Roblox?
Roblox is not strictly a game in itself but rather a massive platform of user-created games and “experiences”.
For example, “Brookhaven RP” is a popular role-playing experience on the Roblox platform. It has received more than 69 billion total visits.
“Brookhaven” searches are up by 118% in the last 5 years.
Its creator, Wolfpaq, is an individual member of the Roblox community. He joined in May 2014, launching Brookhaven in April 2020.
Any member is free to develop their own games in the Roblox Studio, as well as browse the vast catalog of user-created games.
Roblox currently has 6.4 million active experiences and 2.8 million developers.
When Was Roblox Made?
Roblox first came out on September 1, 2006. That means it’s actually older than Minecraft by almost 3 years.
The platform was also live for around two years before its release. An initial version of Roblox was made in 2004, with a limited number of playtesters signing up ahead of the main launch.
Up until 2008, Roblox added some of its own games to the platform to help showcase its capabilities. Since then, all new content has been entirely user-generated.
How Many People Play Roblox?
As of Q2 2025, Roblox has 111.8 million daily active users (DAUs).
That places Roblox well above Minecraft, which has an estimated 13 million DAUs. It’s also ahead of Fortnite, which has approximately 1.5 million DAUs.
Here’s how the number of Roblox daily players has changed over time:
| Quarter | Roblox DAUs |
| Q4 2018 | 13.7 million |
| Q1 2019 | 15.8 million |
| Q2 2019 | 17.1 million |
| Q3 2019 | 18.4 million |
| Q4 2019 | 19.1 million |

| Q2 2025 | 111.8 million |
The latest quarterly results revealed a significant leap in users, increasing 41% year-over-year and more than 14% quarter-over-quarter.
The Roblox game Grow a Garden, launched in March 2025, set a world record in Q2 for the highest number of concurrent users to play a video game. Almost 22 million users were playing at the same time at one point in July.
Meanwhile, across the entire Roblox platform, an all-time high of over 32 million concurrent users was also recorded in Q2.
How Many Hours Are Spent on Roblox?
Roblox doesn’t just have a lot of users — it has engaged users.
In Q2 2025 alone, Roblox users spent 27.4 billion hours on the platform.
That’s around 245 hours per quarter for every daily user, or a little under 82 hours per month.
In other words, each daily Roblox user spends approximately 2.7 hours per day playing the game.
The number of hours spent playing Roblox has increased massively in the past few years, increasing young people’s screen time. Here’s a selection of quarterly playtime milestones:
- Q2 2019: 3 billion+ hours
- Q1 2020: 4 billion+ hours
- Q2 2020: 8 billion+ hours
- Q3 2021: 10 billion+ hours
- Q3 2022: 13 billion+ hours
- Q3 2023: 15 billion+ hours
- Q3 2024: 20 billion+ hours
- Q2 2025: 27 billion+ hours
You can see the marked effect of the pandemic on Roblox game time. The platform only surpassed the 4 billion hour mark in Q1 2020, but received 8 billion hours of play time in Q2 2020.

Roblox Revenue Data
Roblox generates revenue mainly through the sale of its virtual currency, Robux. This in turn can be spent on items within the game.
“Robux” searches are up by 4000% in the last 10 years.
In its accounts, Roblox differentiates between “revenue” and “bookings”. Simply put, revenue is recognized over the estimated average lifetime of a paying user (~27 months), whereas bookings are a more immediate record of purchases made within a given period.
In Q2 2025, Roblox revenue hit $1.08 billion. That figure includes partially deferred purchases from previous quarters, but also only accounts for a fraction of the value of the most up-to-date transactions.
The bookings figure — which Roblox says provides a “timelier indication” of current trends — stands at $1.44 billion.
“Substantially all” of the bookings figure comes from sales of Robux. Here’s how Roblox revenue and bookings have changed over time:
| Quarter | Revenue | Bookings |
| Q1 2021 | $387 million | $652.3 million |
| Q2 2021 | $454.1 million | $665.5 million |
| Q3 2021 | $509.3 million | $637.8 million |
| Q4 2021 | $568.8 million | $770.1 million |
| Q1 2022 | $537.1 million | $631.2 million |
| Q2 2022 | $591.2 million | $639.9 million |
| Q3 2022 | $517.7 million | $701.7 million |
| Q4 2022 | $579 million | $899.4 million |
| Q1 2023 | $655.3 million | $773.8 million |
| Q2 2023 | $680.8 million | $780.7 million |
| Q3 2023 | $713.2 million | $839.5 million |
| Q4 2023 | $749.9 million | $1.127 billion |
| Q1 2024 | $801.3 million | $923.8 million |
| Q2 2024 | $893.5 million | $955.2 million |
| Q3 2024 | $919 million | $1.129 billion |
| Q4 2024 | $988.2 million | $1.362 billion |
| Q1 2025 | $1.035 billion | $1.207 billion |
| Q2 2025 | $1.081 billion | $1.438 billion |
How Much Do Roblox Users Spend?
Roblox is free to use, and the majority of players are not paying users.
However, Roblox hit its highest ever number of Monthly Unique Payers (MUPs) in Q2 2025. 23.4 million users make monthly purchases, up 42% YoY.
The average spend per MUP was $20.48, a 6% YoY increase.
Average bookings per daily average user (ABPDAU) is essentially a measure of how the vast player base is translating into money spent on Robux. In Q2 2025, it increased 18% YoY in the US and Canada, and 11% in international markets.
Across all markets, ABPDAU stood at $12.86, up 7% YoY.
How Much Do Creators Make on Roblox?
Most Roblox users will not be able to use the platform as a significant source of income. However, the top creators can earn major payouts.
Any Roblox developer can charge Robux for elements within the experiences that they create. Under certain circumstances, Roblox allows users to “cash out” those Robux for real currency via a process known as the developer exchange (DevEx).
To do so, a user must have at least 30,000 earned Robux in their account (worth approximately $100). They must also be over 13, with a verified email address, and with a valid DevEx portal (an invitation is sent once a first request is submitted and reviewed).
Developers earned over $1 billion through DevEx in the past 12 months.
In Q2 2025, Roblox paid out $316.4 million in DevEx fees, a 52% YoY increase.
