Evade

Overview

Evade is a horror survival game on Roblox developed by Hexagon Development Community, a group led by developers OsterDog and Beefchoplets. The game launched publicly on August 4, 2022, making it approximately 1,383 days old as of March 2026. Inspired by Garry's Mod nextbots, Evade challenges players to survive waves of AI-driven pursuers across a variety of maps using parkour movement, power-ups, and utility tools.

The game's current title, 🍀 Evade 🪙 [St. Pats], reflects its St. Patrick's Day 2026 event — the 34th mini update — which launched on March 14, 2026, and runs until April 6, 2026. The event introduces a Leprechaun entity named Lupen that randomly spawns during matches. Players who catch it receive random cosmetic items, with 13 items available to collect and a limited gamepass set going off-sale on April 6.

Player Count & Trends

As of March 24, 2026, Evade has 33,309 concurrent players online. Over the past 24 hours, CCU has declined by 1,326 players, a drop of roughly 3.7%. This minor dip is well within normal daily fluctuation for a game of this scale, with a 48-hour peak of approximately 44,000 players.

The game's peak ratio sits at 0.42, meaning its current player count is about 42% of its recent peak — a healthy figure indicating consistent engagement rather than spike-driven traffic. With a retention ratio of 0.0073 relative to its massive 8.3 billion total visits, Evade maintains a steady core audience that returns regularly for new content and seasonal events. The game currently ranks around 28th on Roblox by concurrent players.

Revenue & Monetization

Evade generates an estimated $153,788 per month in revenue, though this figure carries a moderate confidence level of 0.58. The game monetizes through gamepasses available in its Robux store, including limited-time event cosmetics tied to seasonal updates. The St. Patrick's Day 2026 event offers a limited gamepass set that includes 2 cosmetics, 1 unusual, 4 item skins, and 1 emote — all going off-sale on April 6, 2026.

A gifting system introduced on January 1, 2026, during the Christmas event allows players to purchase gamepasses for friends, adding a social monetization layer. With nearly 7.5 million favorites and a like ratio of 94%, the game's strong community sentiment likely supports sustained spending across its player base.

Growth Story

In under four years, Evade has amassed over 8.35 billion visits — a milestone that places it among Roblox's most-visited games. The game has earned 2,955,088 likes against just 187,471 dislikes, maintaining a 94% approval rating that has held steady through dozens of content updates.

Evade's growth has been fueled by a consistent cadence of seasonal events and major content drops. The Overhaul update in early 2025 reworked nextbot AI to enable flanking and creative pursuit behavior, added vehicles to maps, and revamped the shop and inventory system. Since then, the game has run events for April Fools (the "Catvade" event with cats and seals), its 3rd Anniversary, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, and now St. Patrick's Day — keeping the content pipeline active and players engaged year-round.

Hexagon Development Community has published 9 total games, but Evade dominates the portfolio with 33,309 concurrent players compared to just 65 for the next title, Tower Blitz. This concentration underscores how Evade has become the studio's flagship experience.

How Evade Compares

Evade sits in the 99th percentile of its Survival genre, placing it in Tier 1 — the highest tier on the platform. This means it outperforms virtually every other survival game on Roblox by player count, engagement, and revenue metrics combined.

With 33,309 concurrent players, Evade is not just a top survival game — it competes with some of the biggest names across all Roblox genres. Its combination of accessible parkour gameplay, horror-themed AI pursuers, and a steady stream of seasonal content has carved out a durable niche that few competitors in the survival space can match.
