The Secret World

VS

Roblox

The Secret World was a unique MMORPG launched in 2012 by Funcom with a strong narrative and puzzle elements. Its relaunch as Secret World Legends kept the core universe alive but with a much smaller, niche audience. As of 2024, player numbers are quite low given the game's age and limited updates, but a small dedicated community remains.

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.
