Wanted Guide Hub — Live Player Numbers, Codes & Oasis City Update

Home / Wanted

Wanted is an open-world heist and law-enforcement action game from DevvGames, a Roblox creator group with 1.9 million members. 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 00:52 UTC on August 18, 2026 the game was live as Wanted [🔍UPDATE] with 5,222 players in game and 92,934,068 lifetime visits.

Coverage stance: We have first-party numbers and first-party patch-note facts for Wanted, 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, holds two disputed rows (EASTER and ZORVELLO) out of the agreed list, and says plainly that no source names what several crate codes actually contain.

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:

games.roblox.com/v1/games — players in game, visits, favourites, created and updated dates, live title.
games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes — the up and down vote counts behind the approval figure.

Concurrency swings with time of day and weekday, so a single reading is a snapshot rather than a trend — we publish the timestamp precisely so you can treat it that way. The [🔍UPDATE] tag on the live title is the developers flagging the same patch we describe below under "What Is Live Right Now."

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 Wanted.

Favourites as a share of visits — 0.421%. This is a retention signal: how many of the people who showed up cared enough to bookmark. It is higher than a mega-hit like Evade's 0.090%, but it still sits well under the 1.5% line we treat as the signature of a favourite-gated in-game reward, so there is no sign here that favouriting is being incentivised.
Favourites per concurrent player — about 75 to 1. This compares the size of the returning audience to the size of the room at any one moment. Roughly 20 to 1 tends to signal a game people roll for a few weeks and then leave; 150 to 300 to 1 signals a large audience that keeps cycling back. Wanted's 75 to 1 sits between the two, so we are stating the number rather than forcing it into a label neither reference point fits.
Approval at 97.1% across 314,308 votes. The vote count matters as much as the percentage — a high rating on a few thousand votes is noise, while 97.1% on over three hundred thousand is a settled verdict from a large sample.

Our illustration of that ratio, not a chart generated from the data.

Put together: three years old, still carrying thousands of concurrent players, a normal and unmanipulated retention profile, and an approval rating backed by a large sample. We are not putting an all-time platform rank on the visit count, because we did not verify one.

What Is Live Right Now

All of the following come from the game's own description field on the Roblox API, read 00:52 UTC, August 18, 2026 — first-party, not a tracker's paraphrase.

Evidence room robbery. The description says there is a new evidence room robbery, and that players cut the power by destroying the transformers.
Aegis truck. The description names a new Aegis truck, without further detail on what it does.
Gun crates and cooldowns. The description states there are new gun crates and reduced cooldowns.
ATM rarities. The description states there are new ATM rarities.

Our illustration of that scene, not a screenshot or a capture from the game.

The description points players to "the patch notes in-game for a full list of changes," which is not a page we can read from here, so this list is the full extent of what the description itself confirms — we are not filling in the rest from a tracker.

Background

Wanted launched on August 14, 2023 and has been updated continuously since — the most recent developer update recorded by the platform was August 15, 2026, three days before this reading. Across those three years it has accumulated 92,934,068 visits, which averages out to roughly 84,500 visits per day of its life (92,934,068 visits divided by the 1,100 days since launch), though real traffic is far from evenly spread. The DevvGames group's own description also credits the studio as the developer of a second Roblox game, Ohio, alongside Wanted.

Our illustration of that setting, not a photograph and not a screenshot from the game.

We do not have a first-party date for when the code system started, so we are not printing one — the codes page's own expired-code archive is the closest dated evidence we have, and it starts later than the game's launch.

How the Game Works

Wanted's own description says players "live life as a daring bank robber or fight criminals and bring justice" in a setting it names Oasis City — two playable sides, robbery and law enforcement. It states players earn cash and complete missions to unlock faster cars, stronger weapons, and a bigger base, and that committing crimes increases a wanted level and puts a bounty on the player's head. Servers hold up to 30 players.

That is the honest limit of what the description tells us about the core loop. It closes by asking "Will you uncover the secrets of the Oasis?" without saying what those secrets are, and we are not guessing at them. We have not played the game and we are not going to describe specific missions, wanted-level thresholds, bounty payout amounts, or how robbers and law enforcement interact from second-hand summaries — 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.

Wanted on Roblox — the game itself, and the description field that most of this page is sourced from.
DevvGames — the developer group, where update announcements are posted. The group does not carry Roblox's verified badge, and its own description does not link an external Discord.

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.

Wanted Guides

Wanted Codes (August 2026)

Cash, crate and weapon codes multiple trackers agree on, two disputed rows held separately, and the Shop-menu Codes tab redemption path several competing pages get wrong.

Wanted Beginner Route

A first-route order for spending cash safely, upgrading one reliable loadout, and holding off on crates until you know what reward category actually helps.

Weapon and Crate Value

Where to put cash between consistency upgrades, crates, and low-risk side purchases.

Codes

The checked list on our codes page currently carries nine codes all four trackers agree are active, two more flagged with caution because one tracker does not carry them, two disputed rows, and two retired codes. Redemption runs through the Shop section's Codes tab from the main menu — trackers agree a stray space or the wrong letter case is enough to stop a code working, so paste it rather than typing it. 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.
