Nifty Island

VS

Roblox

Nifty Island is an indie sandbox adventure game with a focus on user-generated content and social features. It has some interest in web3 and NFT communities but has not gained major mainstream traction. As a niche sandbox/platform title still in development or early access, its daily active player base is likely modest, in the hundreds range.

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.
