Voldex, a premier home for top games on Roblox, announced it acquired Brookhaven, the largest life simulation title on the platform and a consistent top-three game by concurrent users (CCU) on Roblox, with 60 billion visits and more than 120 million monthly active players. And Voldex’s goal is to be the home of the most engaging and enduring experiences that bring players together. This deal 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.
Created in 2020, Brookhaven quickly became a place for players to hang out, role-play, interact, craft unique narratives, live in big houses, drive fun vehicles, and explore the city.
Founded by Alex Singer as a game server developer on Minecraft in 2015 before moving its focus to Roblox in 2018, Voldex was impressed by Roblox’s development tools and built-in organic game discovery. And Voldex is renowned for its library of top games on the Roblox platform, including Driving Empire, the #1 driving game, and NFL Universe Football, both of which Voldex has significantly enhanced since their respective acquisitions. Voldex utilizes its talented team, proprietary live operations platform, advanced analytics, and partnerships with brands to deliver high-quality updates to players consistently.
Voldex shared that its acquisition of Brookhaven was possible via its recent capital raise transactions. The equity funding was led by Raine Partners, The Raine Group’s 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.
The company had also raised additional debt financing led by Shamrock Capital, which provides innovative financing solutions to the global content and media rights industries, with participation from Ares Management Credit funds and Cadma Capital Partners.
