The dynamics of Grow a Garden’s online presence in Roblox
For comparison, on May 31, the peak number of concurrent players across all Steam games combined was fewer than in Grow a Garden — 11.33 million. However, the overall online presence of Steam, including users who accessed the platform but were not playing, was still much higher, amounting to 38.16 million people.
On May 20, analysts at TD Cowen noted that Grow a Garden accounts for up to 30% of Roblox's entire active audience. According to them, this is an unprecedented achievement. They had seen games attract up to 10% of the platform's active audience, but not nearly a third. Since then, the share of Grow a Garden must have grown even more.
It is possible that Grow a Garden managed to break its record for concurrent players thanks to the Bizzy Bees event, which began on the last day of May. However, just a day after its start, the game's daily concurrent users decreased to 3.8 million.
