With 28 billion logged hours played since 2008, and a recent mention in Fortune as one of the best workplaces in the San Francisco Bay area, there's no reason to think that the Roblox Corporation has any plans of slowing down. While they've not yet reached Grand Theft Auto levels of popularity , right now they're happily celebrating their 100 million active users, and if the current trend continues, it won't be long before that number doubles in size. It was only April of this year, after all, that Roblox was 90 million strong, and gaining 10 million fans in four months is something any company would be proud
One of the key factors to Roblox’s success over the years has been their platform which allows players to design and create their own games using Roblox’s creation engine, Roblox Studio . This gives users the opportunity to exercise their creative freedom and come up with titles that may go on to become successful and earn them money through in-game purchases. This ability has led to the release of thousands of titles, each quirky and unique in its own right. With games such as Jail Break, Flee the Facility, Super Hero Tycoon and Adopt Me!'s predecessor Adopt and Raise a Baby! , Roblox has become an unconventional avenue to mainstream success in the gaming indus
The popular online multiplayer game Roblox has been hacked by Trump supporters who are targeting players' parents, pleading with them to vote for sitting President Donald Trump in the upcoming US presidential election. With the November's election day drawing nearer, Trump supporters are getting desperately creative with their attempts to re-elect Donald Tr
As GameStop attempts to rally following big changes potentially coming to the company, it could prove to be a challenge for Roblox. As attention is split between two high-interest stocks, it could directly impact both of them from hitting the strides they need to really succeed. Roblox reportedly previously delayed its stock after DoorDash and AirBnB went live in 2020 out of fear of getting overshadowed and while GameStop is more volatile, it's still distracting potential investors who are throwing lots of cash aro
The Roblox stock was initially listed at an estimated $45 and jumped to $65 within seconds of going live to the public. At its peak, the company's stock hit an impressive $74.55, but trickled back down to a $69.50 closing price with a 54% gain (via Barrons ). The Roblox stock had plenty of competition thanks to GameStop's incredibly chaotic stock battle . GameStop almost hit $350 today but got hit hard, flying down to $180 at its lowest, but quickly came back up to a closing price of $265. The GameStop stock closed above its previous close of $246.90, but its gains weren't nearly as impressive given the strong decl
The Roblox stock sale has been highly-anticipated as of late and it's one of the most valued companies in gaming. Roblox is valued at a whopping $47 billion and it's just a company that only has one game. For comparison, EA is valued at $37 billion and Microsoft bought Bethesda for $7.5 billion . Roblox makes these giant developers/publishers look like they're worth pennies by comparison. The stock had a lot of hype surrounding it given how popular and well-monetized Roblox actually is. The game is similar to Minecraft and allows players to play a variety of custom games, as well as create their own content. Players are even allowed to sell their content, creating a marketplace for Roblox content. This has made it an incredibly lucrative investment for m
Originally, the currency system in the game was named Roblox Points but this system was replaced with the Robux system back in 2007. As time went on, Robux and Tix, an older currency system, were the only ways to purchase items in the game . Now, Tix has been filtered out to have Robux be the only method of money in the game. Using this item, players can purchase items from within the avatar shop or buy game-passes and user-generated content. Players can purchase more Robux using real-world money at any retailer but there are methods for players to earn them for free in the game. Here's how players can earn free Ro

Since its release in 2006, Roblox has quietly amassed a massive and dedicated group of fans. Roblox serves as both a game creation tool and a platform for playing those creations, not unlike the more recently released Dreams for PlayStation 4. Roblox ’s creation engine is incredibly versatile, letting its community of developers create a huge variety of experiences and even monetize them. The most popular Roblox creations can reach more than 1 million concurrent players, and that translates to earnings for their creators. In 2020 alone, the members of Roblox ’s developer community are expected to collectively rake in more than $250 million for their in-game creations, more than doubling the total from last y
