In June last year, this was the World Record for CCU / Online Players in a Roblox Game

There's nothing suspicious about it. The update launched at 10:03, people start joining. It peaks at 10:53, 50 mins after launch. People who already played it start leaving. "100k" drop doesn't happen until 12:13, 1h20m after the update launches. This is a typical update pattern
You're making the mistake of tracking peak to drop, but you aren't accounting for the 200,000 players who joined and played within the 50 minutes it took to hit peak. More people join than leave = number goes up. More people leave than join = number goes down. Maths!

If you have other questions I'd be happy to explain. It can be hard to imagine, but players login/logout at the same time, so the number changing is just an indicator of login versus logout. Some people play for a few mins, some for an hour, but most somewhere in the middle

Another factor is time of day. The update launched at 10pm UK/EU time, so a bunch of players stayed up to play if for as long as they could, then had to go to bed. The later we go, the more players have to go to sleep after getting as many eggs as they can

Sorry I can only see concurrent players and what is presented by the ROBLOX interface. And sure that number was still around 350K and has been steady around 300-350 for hours. Maybe I missed that peak. Anyway it's a great number regardless. 1/2

Just curious if the last weeks drama had any bearing on these numbers. Anyway I get it, even 400K concurrent players could actually mean 1 Million+ players passed through gate over a few hours. You are doing huge numbers so great job. 2/2
