Steal A Brainrot smashes records with nearly 24 million players across Roblox and Fortnite
Steal A Brainrot just pulled nearly 24 million players in one day across Roblox and Fortnite, eclipsing other community made games on the platforms.
Steal A Brainrot is the latest viral hit to sweep through both Roblox and Fortnite, combining chaotic party-style gameplay with meme-driven humor. First created as a Roblox experience earlier in 2025, the popular tycoon and simulator game tasks players to collect and generate income from “Brainrot” characters.
The game’s momentum only grew when a Fortnite Creative version was released, bringing the same concept into Epic’s ecosystem of player-made content. By spanning two of the biggest free-to-play platforms, Steal A Brainrot tapped into massive built-in communities. The dual launch allowed the title to thrive in both Roblox’s social hubs and Fortnite’s competitive arenas.
Steal a Brainrot reaches tens of millions in one day
That reach paid off on September 14, when Steal A Brainrot hit new all-time highs across both platforms. The Roblox version peaked at 23.4 million players in a single day, while the Fortnite edition contributed to a concurrent total of 542,000 users.
Those figures place it in the same league as Epic’s official game modes, Fortnite Battle Royale and Zero Build, which regularly chart around 100,000 players during peak weekend play. However, Steal The Brainrot has now surpassed two of Epic Games’ staple game modes, Blitz Royale and Reload Ranked, in all time high player count.
The achievement highlights just how far community-built games can go when they strike the right cultural chord. By turning a meme into a fully playable experience across two platforms, Steal A Brainrot has become one of 2025’s breakout hits, and if momentum holds, another record-setting weekend may be in the cards.
