Overview

Roblox is an online platform and game creation system launched in 2006 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel. Most operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, Android, and Xbox One, support Roblox. After logging in, players can explore and choose from a wide variety of games on the Roblox Home Page. Every game has its own rules, objectives and mechanics.

The Roblox Studio can be used to create games. Developers use Lua, a lightweight scripting language, to make UI systems, animations, and game logic. Anyone can build and share experiences (or games).

Monetization

The Roblox platform is free to play but includes a virtual currency called Robux, which players can use to purchase in-game items, upgrades, or avatar customisations. Developers can earn money from Game passes and in-game purchases, Ads inside games, and selling avatar items. Top developers earn millions of dollars per year. The Roblox Corporation pays out hundreds of millions annually through the Developer Exchange (DevEx) program.

For Roblox Game Players:

  • Use the Avatar Shop to stand out. The shop contains a free item section where you will find cool accessories without spending Robux.
