Debuting in 2006, Roblox is a conventional online game creation platform permitting players across the world to design their games using Roblox Studio. Apart from creation, Roblox also emphasizes sharing. Therefore, it also allows players to access a broad range of video games created by other users on the platform.
Developed by Roblox Corporation, the platform also has its in-game currency known as Robux. The currency is used to purchase virtual accessories and clothing, as well as access to certain games. However, users need to spend real money or acquire a promotional code to avail of these purchases.
Currently, there are over 100 million monthly active users on Roblox. The platform has brought in 1.2 billion total engagement hours each month and peaked at 2.7 million concurrent users. It has resulted in 28 billion hours played since 2008. Moreover, Roblox has paid $150 million to its community developers, and 2 million developers are currently creating on the platform, as mentioned by their official website.
