Roblox game Grow a Garden has just reached another staggering milestone in terms of concurrent player count, now beating even Fortnite.
The past few weeks have been absolutely massive for a Roblox game called Grow a Garden. It’s been shattering records left and right, with a previous update managing to bring the player count to a whopping 11,694,315 concurrent users.
It didn’t stop there, though. Following the new Working Bees event update, the idle game is back with yet another milestone, as on June 15, 2025, it hit over 16,000,000 concurrent players as seen from reports all over social media.
With that in mind, the game didn’t just break its own record, but now clears some of the biggest live service games ever and even several top titles on Steam’s most-played charts.
Roblox’s Grow a Garden concurrent player count has reportedly surpassed Fortnite’s peak
If the previous record wasn’t impressive enough, this time, the game has gone beyond and reportedly surpassed Fortnite’s peak player count. For the record, Epic’s Battle Royale title peaked at 14,343,880 six months ago thanks to Chapter 2 Remix’s live event.
In comparison with other games, according to data from SteamDB, PUBG still holds the highest peak concurrent player count at 3,257,248, which isn’t even half of what Grow a Garden has reportedly achieved so far.
Additionally, even if you combine this number from PUBG with the rest of the games in the top five according to the highest concurrent player records on Steam alone, the total is still less than Grow a Garden’s newest peak.
Of course, it’s worth taking the intel with a grain of salt for now though. It’s near-impossible to independently verify user data across platforms. But if genuine, it’s a herculean feat.
The premise of Grow a Garden is exactly as its title suggests. Players start growing their own garden from an empty plot by buying seeds, planting and harvesting crops, and even getting exotic plants. As an idle game, the players’ crops will continue to grow even when they’re away.
Despite the game already managing to attract a large number of players, however, it has also been accused of using bots. That said, Roblox has previously pushed back against this claim.
Speaking to Game File, a spokesperson said: “Grow a Garden’s global success is fueled by exceptional user retention, vibrant social interactions — with friends driving play — and strong Robux engagement. “Our preliminary analysis confirms genuine popularity, not artificial inflation, validating the game’s authentic community-driven growth.”
