Roblox Genre CCU Benchmarks 2026: What Normal Looks Like by Genre and Age

A typical active Roblox experience averages a few dozen concurrent players. In ROLearn’s tracking of 15,799 experiences from 1 to 22 October 2026, the median averaged 45, a quarter averaged under 15, and one in ten averaged over 783; 1,337 experiences, 8.5%, averaged 1,000 or more. Genre changes the ceiling far more than the middle: the median runs from 16 to 84 across genres, but the threshold for the top 10% runs from 255 to 1,879.

Executive Summary

1. 1A typical active experience is small.The median averaged 45 concurrent players; one in ten averaged over 783.
2. 2Genre sets the ceiling.Medians run from 16 to 84; the top-10% threshold runs from 255 to 1,879.
3. 3Simulation is the platform's biggest genre.37% of experiences and 42% of players, carried by a few very large games.
4. 4Age shows survivorship, then a flat line.Young experiences enter tracking only once they attract players; after three months, medians sit around 40.

The overall distribution#

A quarter of experiences averaged under 15 concurrent players, the top quarter starts at 194, and 5,516 experiences (34.9%) averaged 100 or more.

These figures describe active experiences. The set is the experiences ROLearn reads regularly, which favours ones with players; the long tail of public experiences that almost nobody plays is mostly outside it. Across all of Roblox, the same thresholds would rank an experience higher still.

Two patterns stand out. The two genres with the highest medians, Social and Shooter, are built around playing with or against other people. And the genres with the highest ceilings, Strategy and RPG, are not the ones with the most experiences: one in seven Strategy experiences averaged 1,000 or more, against one in twenty-three in Obby & Platformer.

Simulation is the platform’s largest genre by a wide margin, 37% of the tracked experiences and 42% of their concurrent players, yet its median experience averaged 40, below the overall median. Its average experience had 797 concurrent players against that median of 40, so the total is carried by a small number of very large games; a new Simulation experience competes with thousands of others for that attention.

Experiences under three months old were 11% of the set and held 31% of the concurrent players, with a median more than three times that of older ones. That is mostly survivorship, not a sign that new experiences do better: a new experience only enters the tracked set once it attracts players, while the many new experiences that never do are absent. What the band does show is how much of Roblox’s current attention sits in recent hits.

Past the first three months the picture is flat. Experiences aged three months to three years and those over three years have similar medians, around 40, and experiences over three years old still held 28% of concurrent players. On Roblox an old experience is not a dead one.

How to use these benchmarks#

• Compare within the genre. An Obby averaging 150 concurrent players is in its genre’s top quarter; a Shooter at the same level is not.
• Set targets against the top quarter, not the median. The median of active experiences is a few dozen players; the top quarter is where an experience starts to be visible.
• Read young experiences with the survivorship caveat in mind. The young band shows what new hits reach, not what a typical launch achieves.
• Use monthly averages. Daily readings swing with weekends and events.

Frequently asked questions#

What is a good CCU for a Roblox game?#

Among the 15,799 active Roblox experiences ROLearn tracked in October 2026, averaging 100 concurrent players put an experience in the top 35%, and 1,000 put it in the top 8.5%. Because near-empty experiences are mostly outside that set, the same numbers rank higher still across all of Roblox.

Which Roblox genre has the most players?#

Simulation, by a wide margin: 37% of the tracked experiences and 42% of their concurrent players in October 2026. Its median experience averaged 40 concurrent players, close to the overall median of 45.

Which Roblox genres have the highest ceiling?#

Strategy and RPG: one experience in ten averaged at least 1,879 and 1,690 concurrent players respectively, against 255 for Entertainment and 408 for Adventure.
