Roblox has revealed how The Hunt: Roblox 20 event will work! "Players start in Year Zero, then play through 20 years of Roblox history in chronological order. To progress to the next year, players complete a quest that represents the era they’re in, with UGC rewards to collect along the way."

If you are subscribed to Roblox Plus, you will get early access to The Hunt: Roblox 20 event hub before it begins on September 17th! Roblox has clarified that the event will begin at the same time for everyone, regardless of Plus status.

I got to interview JParty, the host of the Innovation Awards and Head of Developer Community at Roblox! In this video, we discuss Roblox's past, see what's in store for the future, and get insight as to what it's like working at Roblox. 👀 WATCH: youtu.be/51kogd1YDxU

Roblox is rolling out the new "Classic" app theme. It can be accessed by clicking the Roblox logo at the top left of the app until it turns into the old logo. This theme is currently FREE for all users, including those not subscribed to Roblox Plus!

Changing your theme to "Classic" also changes the app icon to the old logo on mobile! Be sure your Roblox app is updated to the latest version to see it.

To comply with Australian regulation, starting September 30, 2026, #Roblox creators won’t have access to friends lists of Australian users under age 16 by default. These users can turn developer access to their friends list back on at any time. devforum.roblox.com/t/upcoming-f...

Roblox is rolling out the ability for users aged 13-24 to add Friends that go to the same school. School names are only visible to people who have also verified to attend the same school, and people outside a school cannot browse its students.

To join, users enter their school email, confirm a six-digit code, and choose their graduation year. This is currently in testing for high schools and colleges in Nevada, with Alabama following next week and a full roll out soon.

Leaderboards in #Roblox games can now be sorted by Friends and Global, allowing you to see how you rank compared to people on your Friends list or everyone who has played the game.

Roblox is testing a new "Items Picked For You" sort on the Home page that showcases Passes and Products you might be likely to buy from games you recently played.

Starting August 26th, publishing assets to the #Roblox Creator Store will require creators to have an age-checked account that is at least 2 days old. Verification using just a phone number will no longer be supported for publishing.

Roblox is making it harder to use different size avatars to have an advantage in certain games. Starting today, Roblox is improving the existing bounding box validation checks to stop allowing workarounds for newly published avatars.

Roblox is currently rolling out a real-time monitoring system for in-game avatars that scans for inappropriate content and removes the player from the game if their avatar breaks the rules. The user will receive a notification to change their avatar, or report a mistake.
