📝 Notes / Caveats
- “New” doesn’t always mean recently released — sometimes older games become popular again because of updates, trends, or social sharing.
- Because Roblox relies heavily on user-generated content, many games are experimental or community-created; quality and stability can vary widely.
- Popularity can shift quickly — a trending game today might be less played in a few months; always check in-game stats, player counts, or community feedback.
