Roblox, the gaming platform targeted at kids, has announced that it now has over 150 million monthly active users, notably in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic that has largely driven up online activities and particularly those targeted at kids who remain locked out of in-person schooling activities for the moment.

Roblox made the announcement at this year’s installment of its annual developer conference, which was held virtually. The company also says that developers on its platform are on track to earn over $250 million in this year alone, up from $110 million last year. Currently, Roblox has about 345,000 developers whose games are monetized on its platform.

Roblox only eclipsed 100 million monthly active users in August of last year but has apparently boosted that figure by tens of millions more in just about a year later.
