Roblox Unveils New Ways to Play, Build, and Grow at the Roblox Developers Conference (RDC)

Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) today announced new innovations at its 12th annual Roblox Developers Conference (RDC), an invite-only event for Roblox’s creator community of developers, artists, designers, brands, and influencers. Celebrating 20 years of platform innovation alongside its community, the company unveiled updates that aim to expand play, give creators the game engine and AI tools to build things that weren’t possible before, and usher in the next chapter of growth for creators.

Play: New Ways to Connect, Communicate and Enjoy Games

Last quarter alone, players spent 29 billion hours on Roblox¹, across more than 180 countries. Today, Roblox shared updates designed to let players join games anywhere, on any device or platform; stay connected between sessions; and play new formats and gameplay styles:

• Play Roblox Everywhere: Roblox Everywhere will help creators reach audiences where they already are. Soon, creators will have the option to make their games available as standalone apps across mobile, PC, and consoles, with Roblox powering the technology and services underneath.
• Play on the Web: By the end of this year, players will be able to join a game in-browser on Chrome (additional browsers to follow) from a game’s Experience Details Page, with no app or install required. A shared link, anywhere on the web, becomes a direct path from discovery to play.
• Play Offline: Players can keep playing, even if they’re in the air or service is spotty. Creators will be able to combine online and offline modes in one game, opening up single-player campaigns and sessions away from a network.
• Play New Kinds of Games: Roblox is best known for 3D multiplayer worlds, but some of the most-played games in the world are 2D and puzzle games. Roblox is expanding its engine capabilities to support 2D games with a new orthographic camera, animated image containers, and direct sprite-sheet import. New UI features, including blur, text shadows, and improved gradients, will enhance the look and feel for games, and a new notification system will support turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer games.
• Stay Connected Between Games: The new Friends chat tab follows players across games, so friends can coordinate and move into a new game together, and newly released voice typing lets players talk rather than type while playing.
