Despite their similar blocky and colorful appearances, Roblox and Minecraft are two radically different games in terms of gameplay and price structure.

Many gamers say they are torn between Minecraft and Roblox because both games have millions of players at a time.

Roblox reported 79.5 million DAUs in Q1 2025, an impressive metric of daily stickiness. Minecraft’s last reported MAU was 140 million in 2023, a larger figure but reported monthly, not daily.

What’s Roblox? Is it that thing the Garda have put up to stop me driving from Kildare to Dublin? No, Roblox is an online video game platform and thus slightly more fun than a roadblock.
