Popular Roblox farming sim Grow a Garden recently debuted a massive new update, adding tons of content to the game and seeing a huge uptick in its player count. Roblox has grown into one of the most popular game creation engines in modern gaming, with thousands of different "experiences" made both by fans and the Roblox Corporation. The platform often sees major collaborations with well-known media properties, adding beloved series like Spongebob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles among others. Now, however, a home-grown game is seeing a significant spike with a new update.
Grow a Garden follows in the footsteps of many farming simulators before it, inviting players to build up their own in-game farms. Players can raise and harvest their own crops within Grow a Garden, and eventually sell their produce to grow their Roblox farms even more. The Roblox game even gives players the opportunity to raise their own pets in the farming sim, with players able to obtain everything from cats and dogs to rare creatures like owls and polar bears. A new update to the game is now bringing lots of exciting content to Grow a Garden.
Grow a Garden has officially rolled out its "Bizzy Bees" update, bringing a brand-new event to the game alongside new crops, pets, and more. The update adds a bee-focused event, granting players the ability to gather an exclusive Honey currency for special limited-time items. The update brings several new crops as well, including a multitude of flowers like Sunflowers and Pink Lilies, alongside the introduction of five new Bee pets. Players can also purchase the new crops and pets with Sheckles, alongside the special event currency.
Grow a Garden's newest update has contributed to a massive spike in the game's playerbase since its release, quickly becoming the biggest Roblox game right now. The update saw the game's player count surge to over 11 million players at its peak, topping other popular Roblox experiences like Blox Fruits and Brookhaven. The Bizzy Bees event even contributed to more than 5 million new players checking out the farming sim for the first time, with fans clearly excited about the new update.
The overwhelming popularity of Grow a Garden's new event comes as farming simulators have become a staple of the gaming industry throughout recent years. While Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons helped to popularize the genre, recent years have seen multiple high-profile indie farming sims, including major success stories like Stardew Valley. The growth of farming sims has even seen major developers like JRPG juggernaut Square-Enix dip their toes into the genre with 2022's Harvestella. Grow a Garden's newest update looks to be a smash hit with fans.
