Roblox Q3 2026 users averaged 138 million per day, a 9% decline from a year earlier, according to the company’s October 29 shareholder letter, republished unaltered by MarketScreener. Roblox also reported nearly 34 billion engagement hours, down 15% year over year.
What the quarterly figures show
The company’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC confirms the 138 million average daily active users figure. It reports third-quarter revenue of US$1.572 billion, compared with US$1.360 billion in the equivalent 2025 quarter. Bookings were US$1.697 billion, against US$1.922 billion a year earlier.
Those measures can move in different directions. Roblox recognizes much of its bookings as revenue over time, so rising reported revenue does not mean current-quarter bookings or audience activity also rose.
Daily users are different from concurrent players
Roblox defines a daily active user around a registered account logging in and visiting its website or application on a calendar day. The quarterly number averages daily activity across the period. It does not mean 138 million people were playing simultaneously, and it is not a count of unique people across the entire quarter.
Engagement hours also cover more than time inside games: the filing includes activity in Roblox Studio, communication and platform features, alongside some estimated non-active time.
How Roblox describes the comparison
In its shareholder letter, Roblox points to difficult comparisons with the rapid growth recorded in 2025. That is management’s explanation of the year-over-year figures; it does not establish how an individual experience or creator will perform.
