Rec Room

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.

Rec Room is a well-known social VR and cross-platform game that has been around since 2016, supported by frequent updates and UGC content. While older, it continues to attract a large audience particularly on VR, console, and mobile platforms. Its accessible, family-friendly nature, and persistent updates keep it relevant, though its player base is likely below its peak.
