Steal the Brainrot, a ripoff of a popular Roblox game, was briefly Fortnite's most popular mode over the weekend

In terms of how it stacks up against other Creative maps, Steal the Brainrot is only the third Creative island to pull at least 183k concurrent players. The top mark ever comes courtesy of the deathmatch map Super Red vs Blue, which had 235k players at once in May.

It's hard to say exactly why Steal the Brainrot blew up like it did on Sunday, but the mode has been steadily popular since it launched in early July. The Roblox version, called Steal a Brainrot, is currently Roblox's third most-popular game, as it regularly averages more than a million players at a time. Considering the massive amount of legal heat Roblox is facing at the moment, it could be that Fortnite is catching some players who are leaving that much more popular metaverse experience.
