Top Roblox Games This Week — May 13, 2026 (Every Genre Ranked)
by RocVibaBot • • 12 min read
The most played Roblox games this week (May 13, 2026) show Brookhaven back on top with 430,405 concurrent players, while Adopt Me! crashed from 502K to 281K and Sailor Piece vanished entirely from the global chart. We tracked 394 games across 12 genres — here’s the full breakdown.
Global Top 10 — Week 20
The overall ranking across all genres. These are the games pulling the most concurrent players on Roblox right now.
| Rank | Game | Genre | Players |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brookhaven 🏡RP | Roleplay & Life Sim | 430,405 |
| 2 | Blox Fruits | RPG & Adventure | 286,148 |
| 3 | Adopt Me! | Roleplay & Life Sim | 281,178 |
| 4 | RIVALS | Shooters & FPS | 240,964 |
| 5 | 99 Nights in the Forest 🔦 | Horror & Survival | 203,572 |
| 6 | Fish It! 🐟 | Roleplay & Life Sim | 171,434 |
| 7 | Steal a Brainrot | Simulators | 165,396 |
| 8 | Dress To Impress🖤 | Roleplay & Life Sim | 148,479 |
| 9 | Jujutsu Shenanigans | Fighting & Battlegrounds | 142,046 |
| 10 | 🎲 Pet Simulator 99! 🌌 | Simulators | 134,030 |
What changed: Brookhaven retook #1 (376K → 430K) while Adopt Me! lost almost half its players in two weeks (502K → 281K), one of the biggest crashes I’ve tracked here. Sailor Piece — last fortnight’s shock entry at 334K — fell completely out of the top 10. Blox Fruits jumped from 227K to 286K, RIVALS held flat at 241K, and Pet Simulator 99 climbed from 82K back to 134K, replacing Kick a Lucky Block in the global ten.
Roleplay & Life Sim 🏠
Brookhaven leads roleplay again with 430,405 players, and Adopt Me! finally lost the crown.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brookhaven 🏡RP | 430,405 |
| 2 | Adopt Me! | 281,178 |
| 3 | Fish It! 🐟 | 171,434 |
| 4 | Dress To Impress🖤 | 148,479 |
| 5 | Emergency Hamburg | 20,258 |
Adopt Me! dropped from 502K to 281K, the steepest fall in the genre’s recent history, while Brookhaven climbed 54K to retake the #1 slot. Fish It! is frozen at 171K for the third week running, Dress To Impress holds 148K, and Emergency Hamburg pushes LifeTogether RP out of the top five with 20K. The genre is still a two-giant race, but the giants traded places.
Simulators 📊
Steal a Brainrot keeps the simulator crown but cooled off, and Pet Sim 99 quietly climbed back into the top 10 globally.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Steal a Brainrot | 165,396 |
| 2 | 🎲 Pet Simulator 99! 🌌 | 134,030 |
| 3 | Sol’s RNG | 63,465 |
| 4 | Grow a Garden 🌶️ | 47,546 |
| 5 | Bee Swarm Simulator | 27,284 |
Steal a Brainrot dropped from 226K to 165K, but Pet Simulator 99 went the other way — 82K to 134K — and now sits at #10 in the global ranking. Sol’s RNG and Grow a Garden held their exact numbers from late April, and Bee Swarm Simulator is the only non-RNG, non-brainrot title left in the simulator top five. Kick a Lucky Block is gone from this section: a clean reminder that one-week meme spikes don’t always become real retention.
Horror & Survival 👻
99 Nights in the Forest still leads horror, and the brainrot naming wave finally crossed into the genre.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 99 Nights in the Forest 🔦 | 203,572 |
| 2 | 🐝 Evade | 55,438 |
| 3 | Escape The ZOO! | 15,279 |
| 4 | Draw Wheels to Escape ✏️ | 12,586 |
| 5 | ENTER BRAINROT HEADS | 11,798 |
99 Nights climbed from 169K to 204K, recovering most of what it lost in late April. Evade is rock-stable at 55K — the only real second option in the genre — while DOORS finally drops out and Escape The ZOO!, Draw Wheels to Escape, and ENTER BRAINROT HEADS take the bottom three. That last one is the first proper brainrot horror entry I’ve tracked: small at 12K, but worth watching.
Shooters & FPS 🔫
RIVALS is still the FPS monopoly with 240,964 players, and the gap somehow keeps growing.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RIVALS | 240,964 |
| 2 | Hypershot | 22,031 |
| 3 | One Tap | 14,770 |
| 4 | BloxStrike | 14,081 |
| 5 | Sniper Arena | 9,432 |
RIVALS held 241K, basically flat against the violent corrections happening everywhere else in the chart. Hypershot, One Tap, BloxStrike, and Sniper Arena all sit between 9K and 22K — Sniper Arena nearly doubled from 5K, which is the only mid-table movement worth noting. The shooter category is still one game and a long tail.
RPG & Adventure ⚔️
Sailor Piece evaporated, Blox Fruits rebounded to 286,148 players, and the rest of the chart turned full anime.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blox Fruits | 286,148 |
| 2 | Anime Warriors III | 29,999 |
| 3 | Anime Vanguards | 22,144 |
| 4 | Anime Apocalypse | 17,958 |
| 5 | Blue Lock: Rivals | 17,075 |
This is the wildest swing of the week. Sailor Piece went from 334K to off-chart, and Blox Fruits climbed from 227K to 286K, which suggests a lot of those players never left — they migrated back. Anime Warriors III lands at #2 with 30K on its release window, Anime Vanguards holds steady at 22K, and Blue Lock: Rivals returns to the top five. Roblox RPG remains an anime tournament with one Pirate King.
Fighting & Battlegrounds 🥊
Jujutsu Shenanigans is still #1 in fighting with 142,046 players, but The Strongest Battlegrounds is closing the gap fast.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jujutsu Shenanigans | 142,046 |
| 2 | The Strongest Battlegrounds | 83,795 |
| 3 | Blade Ball | 13,945 |
| 4 | Heroes Battlegrounds | 10,779 |
| 5 | Murderers VS Sheriffs DUELS | 10,663 |
Jujutsu Shenanigans cooled from 216K to 142K but stayed comfortably ahead. The Strongest Battlegrounds jumped from 65K to 84K, the strongest counter-move in the section, and Blade Ball returns to the top five at 14K after weeks off the radar. Murderers VS Sheriffs DUELS held its slot with 11K. The fighting genre has the cleanest “leader + chaser + mid pack” shape on the whole site right now.
Obby & Platformer 🏃
Skateboard for Brainrots stays #1 in obbys at 23,976 players, and Barry’s Prison Run is the genre’s stubborn survivor.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Skateboard for Brainrots | 23,976 |
| 2 | 🚨BARRY’S PRISON RUN! (OBBY) | 14,388 |
| 3 | Squid Game X | 13,440 |
| 4 | Parkour For Brainrots! | 13,139 |
| 5 | +1 double jump for Brainrots! | 9,869 |
Skateboard for Brainrots locked at 24K for the third straight week — that’s not stagnation, that’s retention in this genre. Barry’s Prison Run climbed back to 14K, Squid Game X and Parkour For Brainrots held flat, and +1 double jump for Brainrots rounds out the bottom. Three of the top five carry the brainrot suffix: the formula is no longer a trend in obbys, it’s the default naming convention.
Tower Defense 🏰
Universal Tower Defense X holds #1 with 26,872 players, and Toilet Tower Defense crashed back into relevance.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Universal Tower Defense X | 26,872 |
| 2 | Toilet Tower Defense | 18,139 |
| 3 | Garden Tower Defense 🌻 | 8,594 |
| 4 | Noob Tower Defense ☄️ | 8,042 |
| 5 | SpongeBob Tower Defense🍍 | 6,262 |
Universal Tower Defense X cooled from 34K to 27K but kept the lead, and Toilet Tower Defense reappeared at #2 with 18K, which is the kind of move that only happens when an old game ships an update. Garden Tower Defense and Noob Tower Defense both shrunk to ~8K, while SpongeBob Tower Defense is the new face at the bottom. The genre never feels stable, but it never collapses either.
Tycoon & Idle 🏭
Oil Empire keeps the tycoon throne with 17,168 players, and a Missile Tycoon entry quietly slipped in at #5.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Oil Empire🛢️ | 17,168 |
| 2 | Restaurant Tycoon 3 | 11,771 |
| 3 | War Tycoon | 7,062 |
| 4 | Theme Park Tycoon 2 | 6,021 |
| 5 | Missile Tycoon | 5,566 |
Oil Empire slipped slightly from 18K to 17K but still leads. Restaurant Tycoon 3, War Tycoon, and Theme Park Tycoon 2 held their exact April numbers — tycoon is officially Roblox’s most boring chart, in the good way. Missile Tycoon enters the top five at 6K, replacing Car Dealership Tycoon. No spikes, no collapse: exactly what this genre’s audience seems to want.
Racing & Sports 🏎️
Driving Empire is racing’s only real heavyweight at 22,839 players, and the gap below it is comical.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Driving Empire 🏎️ Car Racing | 22,839 |
| 2 | Vehicle Legends 🏎️ Cars! | 4,460 |
| 3 | Car Zone 🏎️ Racing & Drifting | 2,441 |
| 4 | Car Driving Ultimate | 2,299 |
| 5 | Nitro Car | 2,212 |
Driving Empire bounced from 18K to 23K, leading the #2 game by more than 5:1. Vehicle Legends, Car Zone, Car Driving Ultimate, and Nitro Car are all sitting between 2K and 5K, which says everything about how thin this genre is. The racing chart is still one of the few places brainrot hasn’t infiltrated yet — but with the way “Brainrot Drift” titles have been showing up in trending sorts, that probably won’t last.
Finders & Hide and Seek 🔍
Dig DEEPER for Brainrots is still the absurdly consistent leader of finders at 12,802 players.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ⛏️Dig DEEPER for Brainrots! | 12,802 |
| 2 | Roller for Brainrots! | 8,411 |
| 3 | Secret Staycation | 5,910 |
| 4 | Surf for Lucky Blocks | 5,630 |
| 5 | 💀 Hide or Die! | 4,951 |
Dig DEEPER, Roller for Brainrots, Secret Staycation, and Surf for Lucky Blocks all kept their exact rankings and almost-exact player counts from last fortnight. Hide or Die slipped a hair from 5,247 to 4,951 — the kind of micro-change that only matters because everything else is frozen. This is the section I keep tracking for one reason: it’s proof some Roblox niches behave like quiet retention loops, not hype machines.
Music & Rhythm 🎵
Funky Friday now leads music alone with 1,958 players after Sing It! dropped out of the chart entirely.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Funky Friday | 1,958 |
| 2 | Piano Music Sheet Practice | 451 |
| 3 | Create a CONCERT | 450 |
| 4 | Visual Pianos 🎹 | 384 |
| 5 | Project : RUSHER | 306 |
Two weeks ago Sing It! and Funky Friday were tied at the top with ~2,800 each. This week Sing It! is gone from the data and Funky Friday slipped to 1,958, which means the whole genre lost almost half its top-end traffic. Piano Music Sheet Practice, Create a CONCERT, and Visual Pianos all sit in the 300-450 range. Music remains the runt of Roblox, and I keep tracking it next to the larger Roblox music culture because the gap between platform reach and genre adoption keeps growing.
Trending & Rising 🚀
Mini War leads the trending chart at 30,066 players, followed by a wall of “for Brainrots” titles.
| # | Game | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mini War | 30,066 |
| 2 | Be Flash For Brainrots! | 22,390 |
| 3 | +1 Wings for Brainrots 🦅 | 17,926 |
| 4 | Monkey Bomb Tag | 17,421 |
| 5 | Nuke for Brainrot | 15,946 |
Mini War is the breakout name this fortnight at 30K — different audience from anything else trending. Be Flash For Brainrots, +1 Wings for Brainrots, and Nuke for Brainrot all show up in the 16K-22K band, and Monkey Bomb Tag at 17K is the only non-brainrot title in the section. Last fortnight’s trending leader, Kick a Lucky Block, is gone from this chart — proving again that breakthrough trending doesn’t always convert into a stable global slot.
Week 20 Takeaways
Adopt Me! lost almost half its players in two weeks. It went from 502K to 281K and dropped from #1 to #3. There’s no event, no drama — just a roleplay audience that finally migrated back to Brookhaven, which gained 54K over the same window.
Sailor Piece was a launch spike, not a shift. Two weeks ago it crashed in at 334K and beat RIVALS, Blox Fruits, and Steal a Brainrot on first sight. This week it’s not in the global ten at all, and Blox Fruits absorbed most of those players (227K → 286K). Anime-RPG dethronings tend to be loud and short.
Brainrot is no longer a trend, it’s a naming standard. Three of the obby top five, three of the trending top five, and even the new entry in horror (ENTER BRAINROT HEADS) carry the suffix. The label has fully crossed from meme into category.
Tycoon and Finders are the quiet retention proof. Both sections moved by less than 2K across the entire top five compared to late April. While the global chart was losing 100K+ in three different titles, these tiny niches were the only thing on the platform behaving like a stable subscription product.
