Minecraft Meets Stardew Valley Game Breaks Records with Over 5 Million Players

A new game called ‘Grow a Garden’ on Roblox has quickly become a massive hit, attracting more players than most games on Steam.

If you like Minecraft and Stardew Valley, this free-to-play farming game might be perfect for you. Similar to Stardew Valley, you start with a small plot of land where you buy seeds, plant crops, wait for them to grow, and then collect your profits. The game also lets you visit other players’ farms and invite them to visit yours.

Released on March 22, 2025, ‘Grow a Garden’ has already surpassed 5 million active players, breaking Roblox records. Its popularity grew even more after a free update called ‘Blood Moon’ launched on May 18.

Roblox itself is a free platform that offers many games inside its world. It is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile devices, and VR systems, though it does include microtransactions.

For fans of farming and relaxing gameplay, ‘Grow a Garden’ offers a fun, social, and free way to enjoy the farming experience on Roblox, even beating out many popular Steam games in player numbers.
