Roblox has a big rival in Minecraft, but which one is better for gamers to play? We'll weigh in ourselves here!

To help break down these two massive games into simple language, we've compared Minecraft and Roblox so you can pick which one is right for you or your child.

Roblox reported 79.5 million DAUs in Q1 2025, an impressive metric of daily stickiness. Minecraft’s last reported MAU was 140 million in 2023, a larger figure but reported monthly, not daily.

The immense popularity of these online games and their highly-developed ecosystems make them a prime target for scams and hacking campaigns. They also act as a testing ground for budding hackers.
