Roblox Sign in to your Polygon.com account Disney-owned 20th Century Studios is hoping to turn spooky Roblox hit 99 Nights in the Forest into a feature film, according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter.

It will be the first game adaptation by 20th Century Studios, but at least the fourth Roblox game that Hollywood is trying to build into a film franchise.

99 Nights in the Forest was released on the Roblox platform in June 2025 and became a runaway success.

The game is both a top-10 all-time earner on Roblox and among the most popular games ever released on the platform.

99 Nights in the Forest has racked up 26 billion lifetime visits and peaked at 14 million concurrent players, according to an official Roblox creator profile of the game's three-person development team.

The premise of 99 Nights in the Forest is simple: "Build a camp with friends.

Something is watching you." While the genre of kid-friendly horror certainly isn't unique, based on the popularity of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise both in footage games and film, it's a foundation for success.

"The team at Grandma’s Favourite Games are exactly the kind of bold, imaginative creators we love working with at 20th Century Studios, with world-building ideas that feel innately cinematic," said David Greenbaum, president of 20th Century Studios and of Disney's live-action arm, in a news release.

"99 Nights in the Forest has already connected with millions of players worldwide, and we’re excited to build on that foundation for audiences everywhere." "Growing up, Disney and 20th films were a huge part of our childhood, so collaborating with such legendary and enduring studios feels surreal," added the game's creators.

"We’re excited to explore the world of 99 Nights in the Forest on a broader stage and to create some scares in an entirely new medium." Three other popular Roblox experiences are also being mined for movie audiences, including hit games Grow A Garden and Steal a Brainrot ## Editor's Note The gaming community will surely have mixed reactions to this news.
