Roblox has already grown an incredibly loyal following, with numerous toys and hubs being developed for the sandbox game. The Ready Player Two Hub in Roblox, however, has managed to accumulate nearly 29 million visitors at the time of this writing.
The Ready Player Two Hub revolves around the sequel to the novel Ready Player One. Ready Player Two was released in 2020 and became a New York Times Bestseller. In turn, the Roblox space that was opened in November 2020 has had its fair share of content derived from the book.

All players that enter the hub can immediately unlock a Ready Player Two shirt, as well as a book to display. There are further achievements that are available, but take far longer and are much rarer than the shirt and book. For instance, the secondary achievement has only been won by a little over 220,000 players, a .4 percent success rate.
The amount of players entering the hub has been a surprise due to the low number of total players that can be online at the same time. As of right now, up to 50 Roblox players can enter the hub at any given time. An overall visitor log was posted by the book's official Twitter page yesterday, demonstrating the sheer number of people interested in the happenings inside. However, other Roblox games have had even more success than Ready Player Two's hub.
The hub was opened in conjunction with the novel Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline, the anticipated sequel to the 2011 Ready Player One. Since then, the novel has been adapted into a movie to mixed reactions. Ready Player Two returns to the virtual universe Cline created, albeit with more of a mixed reception from fans.
Since being created, Roblox has been tremendously popular as a sandbox environment where anyone can develop nearly anything, and Ready Player Two's hub is a definite inspiration for that. Players continue to visit the hub in concert with the book to see what all the talk is about, and numbers will continue to grow.
Roblox is available now on Mobile, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
