In an op-ed for Wired, Baszucki said the “metaverse is coming”, where millions will meet virtually for more than just gaming, similar to the world in Ready Player One. What comes next for Roblox is more expansion of the game’s base. That has dropped off by a bit alongside the broader tech selloff in 2022. That has saw its valuation increase dramatically, from $2.5 billion in 2018 to almost $38 billion when it debuted on the New York stock exchange in 2021. It has seen its registered users increase from 35 to 150 million in three years, with 50 million of those added during the coronavirus pandemic. It has also launched a virtual reality edition for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.Įven though Roblox has been available for over a decade, it has only started entering the mainstream in the last few years.

Roblox has expanded onto all mobile platforms and has launched more restrictive versions of its game on Xbox One. That developer payout has increased every year since launch, with Roblox paying $250 million to developers in 2020. In 2013, Roblox made a critical change to its developer program by allowing creators to exchange its virtual currency, Robux, for real-world currencies.
