You're Probably Not Playing Grow a Garden, But It's Bigger Than Anything's Ever Been on Steam 1

It's become common practice nowadays to use a game's concurrent player figures to determine whether or not it's performing well, and if we work by that measure, nothing on Steam has ever come close to a Roblox game called Grow a Garden.

According to Rolimon's, a site that presents all kinds of data based on Roblox, Grow a Garden achieved a staggering new record of 11.1 million concurrent players on 31st May, 2025. This is over three times higher than the current record on Steam — about 3.2 million, held by PUBG: Battlegrounds.

There are about 2.3 million people playing Grow a Garden at the time of writing.

So, what the heck is it?

Grow a Garden is a simple game about planting seeds, growing them, and selling the resulting fruit and vegetables, the goal being to make as much money as you can.

Your crops and plants will continue to grow even while you're offline, so it's a sort of idle game that continues whether you're logged in or not.

Beyond that, updates have brought new plants, pets and egg hatching, weather, mutations, and more.

Roblox released for PS4 back in 2023, meaning you can check out what is seemingly one of the most popular games on the planet, Roblox or not, on Sony's consoles.

Of course, it won't be for everyone, but Grow a Garden has clearly struck a chord with many. Given Roblox's audience age skews lower, we can only assume the game is blowing up among younger players.

So, while you probably aren't playing Grow a Garden — perhaps you'd never heard of it — the kids seemingly can't get enough of this thing.
