Roblox Veggie Game Surpasses Fortnite in Popularity

The Roblox game "Grow a Garden" has recently achieved remarkable success, surpassing Fortnite in concurrent players for the first time. The game attracted over 16 million simultaneous players, setting a new record compared to Fortnite's 15.3 million during its Marvel event in 2020. It's a casual farming simulator where players plant seeds, grow various vegetables and flowers, and can sell their produce for in-game profits, even when offline. The game's simplicity and social aspects likely contribute to its massive appeal among young gamers, despite Roblox facing scrutiny regarding child safety and its player metrics.
