A casual farming simulator built on Roblox is taking the gaming world by storm. Grow a Garden, developed by 16-year-old creator Splitting Point in partnership with DoBig Studios, has officially surpassed 3.4 billion visits and reached 16 million concurrent players, making it one of the most played games in the world today — outpacing giants like Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG in daily active users.
Launched on March 26, 2025, Grow a Garden offers a relaxing yet highly addictive gameplay loop. Players begin with a modest plot and minimal in-game currency, planting and harvesting crops to expand their garden empire.

“We never imagined this kind of response,” said Splitting Point, the young developer behind the game. “I just wanted to build something fun and calming. Seeing players from around the world enjoy it is surreal.”
