Murder Duels is a fast-paced, first-person 1v1-to-4v4 dueling shooter from Breakfast, a verified Roblox group. Every figure on this page comes from Roblox's own public API rather than a tracker's paraphrase, and each one is stamped with the moment we read it. At 19:45 UTC on August 18, 2026 the game was live as Murder Duels with 16,784 players in game and 140,082,807 lifetime visits.

Coverage stance: We have first-party numbers and first-party event facts for Murder Duels, and we have not played it. This hub stops where our evidence stops — there is no strategy guide here and no invented mechanics. Our codes page treats every code as a dated source-listed signal tied to the game's own Like-count milestones, and states plainly where trackers disagree with each other.

Both links open the live JSON, so you can re-run our reading yourself rather than take our word for it — the numbers will have moved on since we read them, which is the point:

Live title at reading: Murder Duels · Developer: Breakfast (Roblox group 43252617, verified badge) · Universe 9561553764, root place 120851538706364.

One thing worth noticing across readings: our codes page recorded 163,226 up-votes, 125,495 favourites and 136,557,215 visits on August 16. Two days later those same three fields read 167,246, 128,859 and 140,082,807. Every one of them moved upward in that short window, which is consistent with a game that is still actively climbing rather than levelling off — though a two-day gap is too short to call a trend on its own.

What These Numbers Actually Mean

Raw counts are easy to quote and easy to misread. These are the three derived figures we use internally to judge whether a game is durable, and what they say about Murder Duels.

  • Favourites as a share of visits — 0.092%. This is a retention signal: how many of the people who showed up cared enough to bookmark. Murder Duels' 0.092% sits well under the 1.5% level that signals an in-game reward for favouriting, so nothing here suggests the count is being gamed.
  • Favourites per concurrent player — about 7.7 to 1. This compares the size of the returning population to the size of the room at any one moment. It is notably lower than the roughly 20-to-1 ratio that tends to mark a game whose players roll it for a few weeks and move on, and far below a multi-year game's durable-audience range. Murder Duels launched January 14, 2026, so its accumulated favourites simply have not had as long to build up against a concurrent count that the live Summer Update may currently be inflating.
  • Approval at 94.5% across 177,013 votes. The vote count matters as much as the percentage — a sample this size makes the figure a settled verdict rather than noise.

Put together: a young game, seven months old, still carrying tens of thousands of concurrent players and a large-sample approval rating well above 90%. We are not putting an all-time platform rank on the visit count, because we did not verify one.

What Is Live Right Now

The following comes from the game's own description field on the Roblox API, read August 18, 2026 — first-party, not a tracker's paraphrase.

  • Summer Update, Part 2. The description's own headline banner reads "NEW SUMMER UPDATE - PART 2 OF 2!" — flagging that a second phase of a Summer Update is currently live. The description gives no further detail on what the update changed, so we are not guessing past what the banner itself states.
  • Beta status. The description states the game is currently in beta and to "expect changes."

Background

Murder Duels launched on January 14, 2026 and has been updated since — the most recent developer update recorded by the platform was August 16, 2026, two days before this reading. Across those roughly seven months it has accumulated over 140 million visits, which averages out to roughly 649,000 visits per day of its life so far (140,082,807 visits over 216 days), though real traffic is far from evenly spread.

A code system exists for Murder Duels — our codes page tracks it from dated third-party trackers — but the developer's own description publishes no code text at all, so we cannot give the code system a first-party start date here. The description does carry a standing anti-cheat warning: cheaters are permanently banned, and the developers state plainly that they "do not appeal bans," which we mention because it is a first-party player-facing fact rather than opinion.

How the Game Works

Murder Duels is a dueling shooter: players step on a pad to begin a duel, which can run anywhere from 1v1 up to 4v4, and it takes 5 wins to take the match. Every duel gives both players two weapons, a knife and a revolver, and both weapons carry a set of unique abilities. Players unlock new knife and revolver skins as they progress and can trade skins with other players. That is the honest limit of what we can state. We have not played the game and we are not going to describe specific ability names, duel-pad locations, matchmaking mechanics or exactly how skins are earned beyond "as you progress" — if we cannot source it first-party, it does not go on the page.

Official Channels

Where to go for first-party information. We link these without nofollow because we have checked them and we do stand behind them, unlike the third-party trackers we cite on the codes page.

  • Murder Duels on Roblox — the game itself, and the description field that most of this page is sourced from.
  • Breakfast — the verified developer group behind the game.

The raw API endpoints behind our figures are linked in the Live Snapshot section above rather than here, because they are a verification tool rather than somewhere a player would go.

Murder Duels Codes (August 2026)

The Like-milestone signals sourced from four dated trackers, which lower tiers are contested between them, redeem steps, and the expired archive.

Codes

Murder Duels codes are gated to milestones on the game's own Roblox page Like count rather than published in the developer's description, and every code we list is a dated source-listed signal, never a confirmed-working claim. The current redemption path requires joining the official "Breakfast" Roblox group and reaching Level 5 in-game, then opening the Shop icon and its Codes tab to enter a code exactly as written, case-sensitive. Full detail, sources and caveats are on the codes page.

Update Rule

We do not mark a code as active just because another page says it is active, and we do not quote a player count without saying when we read it. This page records what was checked, when it was checked, and where the evidence runs out.
