TRENCH: DECAY player count & visits

At our August 22, 2026 reading there were 1,260 players in-game at that moment, spread across 40-player servers. Concurrent counts on Roblox swing hard through the day — we have logged readings between roughly 570 and 1,260 for this game inside a seven-week window — so treat any single number as a snapshot of that minute rather than a fixed population. The all-time figure is far larger: 4,274,298 total visits.

It crossed 2.5 million on August 5, 2026, and by our August 22 reading the counter read 4,274,298 visits. The developer’s own game description notes the first million arrived within two weeks of launch, and our dated readings show the second million landing by July 29 — under a month after the experience was created on July 1, 2026. Recent growth has been running at roughly 40,000 to 175,000 visits a day.

By Roblox standards it is a genuine breakout for a solo-developed beta. Over 4.27 million visits and 59,632 favourites inside seven weeks is a strong showing, and it briefly reached the Roblox front page — the FRONTPAGEREWARD code exists specifically to mark that. The like ratio is also unusually healthy at around 94% (30,480 likes against 1,946 dislikes).

Visits count sessions, not people, so they overstate the audience. A better proxy is the join badge: The Enlisted, which is awarded the moment you load in, had been earned 711,266 times at the August 22, 2026 badge reading. Set against the visit total on the same day, that works out to roughly six visits per enlisted player — a sign that people are coming back rather than bouncing after one run.

It has not trended down in any meaningful way — it oscillates. Our readings are taken at different hours, and Roblox concurrency is heavily time-of-day driven, so a 571 reading on August 1 and a 774 reading on August 2 mostly reflect when we looked. What matters for a growth check is the visit curve and the favourites curve, and both have climbed on every single reading we have taken.

Straight from Roblox’s own platform data for the experience — the same source the game page itself renders from — rather than from a third-party tracker. That matters, because several code and stats sites cache stale snapshots for this game; we have repeatedly seen figures like "1.8M visits" served long after the real total passed 2.3M. Every row on this page is stamped with the date we read it.
