Roblox Corporation is a technology company known for its namesake online platform that enables users to create, share and play games and experiences in a three-dimensional, user-generated environment. The platform supports a vast library of interactive content ranging from simple obstacle courses to complex role-playing adventures, all developed by a global community of creators using Roblox’s proprietary tools.
The core of Roblox’s offering is Roblox Studio, a development environment that allows users—both amateur and professional—to design and publish interactive experiences. Reinforced by an in-platform economy powered by Robux, the company’s virtual currency, Roblox provides creators with monetization opportunities through the sale of virtual items, game passes and immersive experiences. This model has fostered a vibrant developer ecosystem focused on creativity and collaboration.
Founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, Roblox is headquartered in San Mateo, California. Under the leadership of CEO David Baszucki, the company transitioned from a niche startup to a publicly traded entity in March 2021. Over the years, Roblox has expanded its capabilities with investments in real-time rendering, social features and safety tools designed to protect its predominantly younger user base.
Roblox serves millions of daily active users across more than 180 countries, with availability on PC, Mac, iOS, Android and select gaming consoles. The platform’s international reach and emphasis on user-generated content continue to drive its evolution as a leading destination for online social experiences and interactive entertainment.
