Created in 2005, the online multiplayer platform Roblox, which allows visitors to create their own games, has been gaining an incredible audience growth rate of late. A few days ago, on the official website of the project, it was announced that the monthly user audience of Roblox exceeded the mark of 100 million users, overtaking Minecraft, which is played by about 90 million people worldwide every month.
It is worth saying that in recent years the platform has achieved impressive results. As of February 2016, the monthly user audience was only 9 million people. This suggests that over 3,5 years there has been more than a tenfold increase in popularity. The bulk of the content offered on Roblox is made up of user apps. According to official data, there are currently about 40 million user applications on the platform.
“We founded Roblox over a decade ago with the goal of bringing people around the world together through a game,” said Roblox founder and CEO David Baczucki. He also noted that the history of the platform began with 100 players and several application developers who inspired each other, collaborated and created joint projects.
It is worth saying that the company behind the Roblox project is investing a lot of money in development. In 2017, the investment amounted to $30 million, and in 2018 the amount was doubled. In addition, the XNUMXth Roblox Developer Conference will be held next week with hundreds of attendees.
