With version 1.11.0, the game has shattered records, surpassing even Fortnite’s peak concurrent player count. While Fortnite once boasted a record of 15.3 million players during the 2020 Marvel-themed season finale, Grow a Garden has now claimed the spotlight with a stunning 16.4 million concurrent players.

In Grow a Garden, players immerse themselves in a charming farming simulator, starting with a plot of land and a modest sum of in-game currency, Sheckles. The objective is simple: grow a garden. The game offers a relaxing experience as you cultivate various crops, including carrots, and your garden flourishes even while you’re offline.
The brainchild of a 16-year-old creator, Grow a Garden has evolved far beyond its humble beginnings. Although the original creator remains hands-on, the game now benefits from the expertise of DoBig Studios and renowned developer Janzen Madsen (better known as Jandel). The collaborative effort between these teams has played a pivotal role in maintaining the game’s momentum and attracting a broad audience.
The key to Grow a Garden’s success lies in its consistent updates and creative events.
