We grade our own calls, in public, every week.
Every call publishes with a pre-registered metric before the week starts. The following issue grades it against that metric, and a miss runs with the same prominence as a hit. The record to date comes from our three internal June editions, written and scored under the same rules before launch.

As of August 3, 2026
The Worlds Report - Issue #5
- Roblox Simulator/Tycoon slid a sixth straight week, 29.7% to 25.0% of new visits, and this is the week the usual fix stopped working. Both of the genre's meme leaders shipped a content update inside the window and both still fell: Candy & Chocolate Keyboard Escape lost 105.5M new visits (the biggest decline on the board) and Steal a Brainrot lost 44.5M. The six-week arc is 42.6, 38.6, 34.4, 32.4, 29.7, 25.0.
- The demand that freed up went to established titles shipping content rather than to a new format. Horror rose to 13.7% of new visits on Murder Mystery 2 (+64.3M), RPG to 6.6% on Blox Fruits (+53.1M, which republished August 2), and Roleplay held second place at 17.4% on Brookhaven (+310M, on a July 31 pets update).
- Murder Mystery 2 has shipped nothing new since July 23, so the Horror share it carries is the second week of that update rather than a fresh event. Treat 13.7% as borrowed and expect give-back, which is what call 3 pre-registers.
Platform demand shapes
The meters show how much of each platform's demand the top worlds already hold, in the most recent week.
Roblox
top-10 share 58.5% top-1 10.4%
Winner-take-all. The top 10 hold 58.5% of new visits (up from 55.1%) and the median world's new visits fell from 102,106 to 73,855. The curve tightened around a handful of established titles that shipped content, and thinned everywhere else.
Fortnite Creative
top-10 share 18.5% top-1 3.8%
Long tail. The median island peaked at 8 CCU on roughly 14.9 minute sessions. A fresh niche island is viable and disposable, and last week's fastest riser is off the board entirely seven days later.
VRChat
top-10 share 41.2%
Destination-driven. Occupancy clusters around worlds people return to. Favorites act as the return signal and keep accruing after a live spike fades, which is what makes an update to an existing world worth more than a fresh one.
