Roblox is officially celebrating 20 years since its launch, marking two decades of games, creativity, and a massive global community.
What began as a platform built around a simple idea — “You make the game” — has grown into one of the biggest gaming and creation platforms in the world. Roblox itself says that its original idea was to give people the ability to create rather than simply play games made by traditional studios.
🧱 FROM SIMPLE BEGINNINGS TO A GLOBAL PLATFORM
Over the past 20 years, Roblox has transformed dramatically. Millions of creators have built experiences across countless genres, while players have explored virtual worlds, made friends and participated in events and communities.
In 2026, Roblox reported that more than 144 million users come to the platform every day, highlighting just how far it has grown.
The platform has also become a major opportunity for developers. Roblox says creators earned more than $1.5 billion through its Developer Exchange program during the previous 12 months.
🤖 LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
Roblox's 20th anniversary isn't just about looking back. The company is also preparing for its next generation of creation.
Earlier this year, Roblox announced Build, a mobile-first AI creation experience that allows users to turn text prompts into starting points for games. The company has also been expanding AI-powered tools inside Roblox Studio to help creators plan, build and test experiences.
Roblox has also introduced major changes to how younger users experience the platform, including Roblox Kids and Roblox Select accounts, age checks, content ratings and expanded parental controls.
🎉 20 YEARS OF ROBLOX
From its early days to today's massive creator ecosystem, Roblox has spent 20 years changing the way people think about games and online creation.
As Roblox enters its third decade, the platform's original message remains at the centre of its vision: anyone can create.
Happy 20th Anniversary, Roblox! 🎂🎮
