Grow a Garden, a new idle game on Roblox, has shattered concurrent player records, surpassing Fortnite's 14.3 million with over 16 million users on a recent weekend. Released in March, it allows players to design and grow a garden, with plants evolving while offline. A recent promotional event offering a free pet increased player engagement. Despite lacking uniqueness compared to other games, its low learning curve and broad appeal, especially in Asia, have made it immensely popular.
"Grow a Garden has more players than New Zealand and Norway combined," wrote Redditor agentsunnyside7_4 in a thread that covered the huge player-count news.
A recent promotion gave players a free pet if they were online when an update was released.
Grow a Garden--while not especially unique compared to similar titles--has captured the minds of millions of Roblox players.
It has players plant crops and flowers and design their own garden. The plants will grow when they are offline.
