Roblox has officially surpassed PlayStation and Steam combined in total engagement, highlighting a major shift in where fans enjoy their games.
According to Matthew Ball’s State of Video Gaming 2025 report from Epyllion, Roblox recorded just over 10 billion monthly hours of engagement in 2025, dramatically exceeding the combined engagement of both Steam and PlayStation.
Steam, hosting PC players (and handheld too) reached just over 5 billion monthly hours according to the report, while PlayStation recorded just over 4 billion. Together, the two platforms sit at roughly 9 billion hours, still below Roblox’s total on its own.
Roblox overtakes both Steam & Playstations engagement
So, according to the report, Roblox is now the single most engaged gaming platform per month by a very clear margin.
It should be noted, however, that PlayStation’s engagement figure does come from 2024. However, the platform’s engagement trends are relatively consistent year to year, so it still reflects the current balance between the platforms and is unlikely to surpass Roblox’s lead of 10 billion.
Roblox’s engagement is powered heavily by viral games built directly on the platform. Grow a Garden is one of the clearest examples, reaching massive concurrent player counts and spreading quickly across the Roblox ecosystem. Its rapid rise shows how quickly new experiences can scale when exposed to Roblox’s global audience.
Steal a Brainrot has also seen major success, attracting huge player numbers and sustained engagement. Games like these continue to drive activity across the platform and reinforce Roblox’s ability to generate breakout hits without relying on traditional release cycles.
Unlike PlayStation and Steam, which depend on individual game launches, Roblox operates as a continuous platform where new experiences are released and scale daily. This constant turnover keeps players engaged and contributes to its industry-leading engagement totals.
