In Q3 2023, Roblox players engaged with the platform for a total of 16.0 billion hours 7. This is the highest figure we have seen to date.
Q4 2022, at 12.8 billion, is lower than the figure for Q3 2022, which was 13.4 billion. This is likely because Roblox paused its Chinese version of the app for further development, meaning Chinese players could no longer access the game at the time 8.
Players engage with Roblox games for approximately 13.5 billion hours longer than they did in Q4 2018.

Much of Roblox Corp’s revenue is likely due to the in-game microtransactions available to players via its Robux in-game currency.
As we can see, the millions of players logging on daily in Q4 2022 were spending on average $15.29 each on in-game purchases (referred to as bookings, which simply translates as sales) 16.
This number dropped to $11.96 by Q3 2023. In game purchases seem to spike in Q4. This is probably due to the ability to buy Robux gift cards, which make excellent Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts for Roblox players.
The highest daily average spend came in Q4 2020, when users were spending an average of $17.30 on in-game items and events.
Market Value of Roblox: How Much Is Roblox Worth?
In November 2021, Roblox reached its all time peak market cap of $78 billion 17.
As of March 16th 2023, Roblox is worth $25.85 billion.
Will People Continue to Play Roblox Games?
Roblox is an immeasurably popular platform, with millions of games and billions of visits to each game from its huge user base.
So, will people continue to play Roblox games? You can bet your bottom dollar that the platform won’t be going anywhere in the near future, and is likely to enjoy continued growth as time passes by.
