Key takeaways
- Kingdom World reaches 100 million visits on Roblox, recreating contemporary life in Riyadh.
- Generates up to 150,000 Robux (~$525) daily on slower days without heavy outside funding.
- Highlights expanding developer talent and mobile engagement across Saudi Arabia and MENA.
Saudi Arabian developer MJ Studios has revealed that its Roblox experience Kingdom World has surpassed 100 million visits, demonstrating the growing commercial potential of locally developed gaming content across the Middle East. The milestone emerged in a new interview with studio founder Mohammed Mohammed and lead developer Idiris Mustaf. Kingdom World recreates elements of everyday life in Riyadh, allowing players to explore locations inspired by Saudi streets, architecture, shops and social environments.
Rather than presenting Saudi Arabia as an exotic backdrop, the developers wanted to create a recognisable contemporary setting that international players could also enjoy. The studio says most of its income comes from Roblox and in-game purchases, allowing it to expand without relying heavily on outside investment. According to the interview, the business generates approximately 150,000 Robux on slower days, equivalent to roughly $525 using the conversion cited by the developers.
Roblox is available across multiple platforms, but its substantial mobile audience makes the achievement particularly relevant to smartphone gaming. Kingdom World's success also challenges the assumption that commercially successful games must begin by targeting Western or Japanese audiences. Authentic regional experiences can attract substantial international interest when the gameplay is accessible and the community is well supported.
The studio remains open to developing for additional platforms, although its founders see no immediate need to abandon Roblox. Apparently building a convincing virtual Riyadh can be a perfectly respectable business model.
