Roblox and Minecraft players are less likely to play traditional AAA video games

Newzoo research reveals Roblox and Minecraft players rarely engage with traditional AAA games like Assassin's Creed: Shadows, instead preferring live-service titles such as Fortnite and Call of Duty. Roblox players are only 0.4 times as likely to play console games like Monster Hunter Wilds compared to average players, suggesting these gaming communities operate in separate ecosystems. This trend raises questions about the gaming industry's future as younger players may permanently favor free-to-play experiences over expensive AAA titles.
