Roblox recently released third-quarter earnings results, showing strong revenue of $713 million on net bookings of $840 million. Apart from its profit figures, Roblox also broke new ground in terms of its KPIs (key performance indicators), namely the number of people who used Roblox on a daily basis.
According to the report, Roblox had more than 70 million DAUs (daily active users) during the three-month period ending September 30, 2023. This puts Roblox squarely against Call of Duty, one of the biggest gaming franchises.

- Average daily active users (DAU) reached a new high of 70.2 million, up 20% from last year;
- Hours exceeded 16 billion, up 20% from last year;
- Average monthly unique payers (MUP) were 14.7 million, up 14% year over year, and average bookings per MUP were $19.02, up 5% year over year year. The average number of returning unique payers per month and new unique payers per month reached all-time highs.
