With Brookhaven's 120 million monthly active
players and 60 billion visits, Voldex is now, according to its
estimates, the developer with the largest audience on
Roblox
Voldex, the premier home for top games on Roblox, has acquired
Brookhaven, the largest life simulation title on the platform and a
consistent top-three game by concurrent users (CCU) on Roblox,
boasting 60 billion visits and more than 120 million monthly active
players. Voldex’s mission is to be the home of the most engaging
and enduring experiences that bring players together. This
acquisition expands Voldex’s user base to more than 145 million
monthly active players, making it the #1 Roblox developer by
audience according to Voldex’s estimates.
“This acquisition is transformational for Voldex,” said Alex
Singer, Voldex’s Founder and CEO. “We’re honored that Wolfpaq has
entrusted us with Brookhaven. We’re committed to being great
stewards of the incredible world he has created and the vibrant
community that makes it special.”
Created in 2020, Brookhaven quickly became a place for players
to hang out, roleplay, interact, craft unique narratives, live in
big houses, drive fun vehicles and explore the city.
“I am excited for Voldex to continue building upon what makes
Brookhaven fun for players worldwide, and for our dedicated fans
and players to continue being whoever they want to be in Brookhaven
RP.” - Wolfpaq, Creator of Brookhaven
Founded by Alex Singer as a game server developer on Minecraft
in 2015 before shifting its focus to Roblox in 2018, Voldex was
amazed by Roblox’s development tools and built-in organic game
discovery. Voldex is renowned for its library of top games on the
Roblox platform, including Driving Empire, the #1 driving game, and
NFL Universe Football, the #1 football game, both of which Voldex
has significantly enhanced since their respective acquisitions.
Voldex leverages its talented team, proprietary live operations
platform, advanced analytics and partnerships with brands to
consistently deliver high-quality updates to players.
Voldex is proud to share that its acquisition of Brookhaven was
made possible via the company’s recent capital raise
transactions.
The equity financing was led by Raine Partners, The Raine
Group’s (“Raine”) flagship growth equity fund, with additional
participation from Makers Fund, QIA, MIT, Tirta Ventures and
Lalotte Ventures. The Raine Group’s Managing Director Dara Leung
will join the Voldex Board of Directors, and Partner Todd Rosoff
will serve as an Observer.

category leaders with the potential to reshape industries,” said
Todd Rosoff, Head of Gaming and Partner at Raine. “Voldex stands
out as one of the strongest companies in its sector, with
significant growth potential ahead. Our investment reflects our
confidence in the gaming sector, and we’re excited to collaborate
with Alex and the Voldex team to drive continued expansion and
success.”
The company raised additional debt financing led by Shamrock
