You may know Roblox as a game that is very popular among children at the moment, but did you know that it is also a technology company that develops programming talent by allowing anyone to create games on the platform.
Recently, Roblox has announced that one of the newest games on their platform, Grow A Garden, has recorded 21.6 million concurrent players, about 6 million more than the current record holder for the most concurrent players in the world, Fortnite with 15.3 million simultaneous players in December 2020.
Roblox says that due to Roblox's recent popularity, they have maintained a concurrent player count of about 30 million players across the platform during peak player times. They also work hard to ensure that their platform remains accessible even when things like 20 million players playing a single game happen, so that other players' experiences are not affected.
Roblox says that they have 24 data centers around the world which ensures that their players can connect to the data center closest to them no matter where they are in the world.
