If you’re plugged into the Roblox system, you’ll know that over recent weeks one game has been smashing records. Grow a Garden, which is best described as gacha gaming’s answer to Stardew Valley or Farmville, racked up more than 21 million concurrent users earlier this month.
That’s reportedly not just the most-played game in the history of Roblox, but the highest recorded total in the entire industry. It’s helped make Grow a Garden the top-ranking Roblox game for revenue, and the fastest game to reach one billion lifetime plays.
That’s come with its downsides. As with any massively popular game, Grow a Garden has collected its fair share of haters. A game mostly about waiting for plants to grow, it’s hard to fight off the ‘watching paint dry’ allegations, but Grow a Garden has a dedicated enough audience to fight its corner, especially when some players have blamed it for Roblox’s recent server issues.
