Abstract
Roblox is a creative game-based platform popular among children, with 32.1 million daily active users under the age of 13.
In the second quarter of 2024, Roblox generated revenue of over US $893 million, largely through the sale of digital assets and experiences.
Roblox has had a wide impact on children’s popular culture and is highly popular as YouTube content.
The platform has been controversial due to how its in-platform currency, Robux, is used; and due to child safety concerns.
