Roblox

Fractured Online is an indie sandbox MMORPG developed by Dynamight Studios, published with Gamigo, and set for release in July 2024. While it fits the MMORPG criteria (persistent world, large-scale multiplayer), its indie nature and publisher history suggest a modest launch. Impressively funded but niche, indie MMOs often launch with a few thousand daily players, particularly outside of heavy marketing or major publisher push. Given the studio size and genre, 3,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for its early period.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
