The mobile version of Roblox remains one of the highest-grossing apps in the world. Here are the gaming platform’s key metrics, including download numbers and top-earning countries.
*It’s worth noting that AppMagic shows revenue from in-app purchases, reduced by platform fees and including taxes—Roblox’s IAP revenue is over $4.2 billion. To calculate player costs, analysts added 30% discounts and taxes that stores pay to some countries before paying the publisher.
- The US is the number one country in mobile revenue, accounting for 58% of the total. It is followed by the UK (7%), Canada (4%), South Korea (4%) and Australia (3%).
- Roblox has also generated 995 million downloads worldwide. The US is the leader in installations with a 20% share, followed by Brazil (12%), Mexico (6%), Indonesia (5.6%) and Russia (5.5%).
- Please be aware that AppMagic also does not track other sources of income such as licensing agreements, advertising revenue, and royalties. Thus, the total revenue of Roblox including PC and consoles is higher.
