In a significant update for fans of the hit Roblox game, Grow a Garden, developer Jandel has announced the highly anticipated trading system is set to launch next week, either on July 26 or August 2, 2025. This update is expected to take place during one of Roblox’s typical Saturday update windows.
The surge in popularity for Grow a Garden has been remarkable, with the game surpassing 21 million concurrent players in recent months, breaking the previous records held by major titles like Fortnite. This immense player engagement reflects the game’s vibrant community and underscores its place as one of Roblox’s leading titles.
The new trading system comes in response to concerns about scams that have plagued the game’s player base, where users often fall victim to fraudulent trades. With this feature, players will have a secure and reliable platform for exchanging in-game items, thereby reducing instances of unfair trades and loss of items to dishonest players.
In addition to the trading feature, Jandel has been addressing community feedback regarding recent updates. Notably, he acknowledged the frustration surrounding the low drop rate for the new Kitsune pet introduced during the Zen update on July 19. He admitted to the community, “We won’t do this again, no excuses, my bad for this, I wasn’t respecting the community.”
Moreover, Jandel has been open about feeling creatively drained, which has affected the originality of recent in-game events. He expressed a willingness to consider suggestions from the community, stating that he actively reads player ideas on the platform’s Starboard for inspiration.
This commitment to community engagement and improvement is a hopeful sign for the future of Grow a Garden, as it seeks to enhance player experience and foster a more interactive environment. The planned trading system and the developer’s responsiveness to feedback indicate a positive direction for the game’s ongoing development.
