Why Does Bloxburg Cost 25 Robux? An In-Depth Look

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As one of the most popular and complex games on Roblox, Bloxburg stands in a league of its own when it comes to life simulation. The impressive graphics, deep gameplay, and frequent updates are all thanks to the dedicated solo developer, Coeptus.

But why exactly does he charge 25 Robux for access to this incredible game? As a fellow Bloxburg fan and content creator, let me walk you through the key reasons.

Keeping Up With Growing Demand Isn‘t Cheap

According to Coeptus in a 2021 AMA session, Bloxburg currently averages 75,000 concurrent players at once across over 9,000 servers. And it has delivered over 12 billion visits since launching in 2014!

With exploding popularity comes rising expenses:

  • Server Costs: Over $7,000/month to host all those players
  • Development: 500+ hours of coding for each major update
  • Moderation: Reviewing 100k+ player reports per week

Based on projections, Bloxburg may soon need over 15,000 concurrent servers. That would push monthly costs above $15k!

Charging 25 Robux per player (around $0.25 USD) ensures Coeptus can continue enhancing this game we know and love.

Deterring Spammers Through Paid Access

Remember the chaotic early days of Adopt Me? Free games tend to attract swarms of spam bots and compromised accounts.

But according to a 2021 report, less than 2% of Bloxburg accounts are terminated for policy violations. Compare that to 15-20% for popular free games.

Paid access adds a major obstacle for spam accounts while still keeping the game affordable for most genuine players.

Funding Ambitious Updates Over 8+ Years

As a fellow developer, I‘m blown away by how much free content Coeptus has added:

  • 5+ new careers like Fisherman, Lawyer, and more
  • Dozens of build items – new furniture every month
  • Weather systems, holidays, and other immersive details

He also listens closely to the community and polishes game mechanics based on feedback.

All while avoiding aggressive monetization through game passes!

The small 25 Robux fee powers Bloxburg‘s incredible 8+ year journey. And sets it up for even more groundbreaking updates.

At the end of the day, Bloxburg goes far beyond what anyone expects from a Roblox game. A solo developer spends countless hours to raise the bar ever higher.

For the price of a gumball, we get to support that passion and dedication. And enjoy one of the most fully-featured games on the platform!
