Roblox just put a store inside your games.
They're calling it Shop.
It drops a "personalized" storefront right into the games you play so you can buy passes without ever leaving.
>passes
>developer products
>all picked for you by Roblox AI
So the same company that already decides which games get seen now decides which items get pushed in front of you to buy inside them.
Games used to be the thing. Now the game is the store.
Every game just turned into a checkout line.
Starting July 14th, Roblox will be reducing what creators earn from 2D items, from 70% to 30%. If sold in-game, the game developer will earn 40% and the creator will still earn 30%.
In addition, to upload either 2D or 3D items, you need to pay 200 Robux and be ID verified (or have a linked parent account). To upload, you will need an active Plus/Premium membership and pay a publishing advance, starting at 600 Robux. Totaling to 800 Robux, minimum, per item.
We’re rolling out new ways to coordinate gameplay: introducing Quick Words and Voice Typing.
Quick Words is available now, making it easy to send common phrases with a single tap. Voice Typing follows in July, turning your speech into chat messages so you can spend less time typing and more time playing. https://t.co/P2E0MCrnwS
When a player buys Robux, they are now given recommendations for what gamepasses and avatar items to spend it on.
Gamepasses are based on your most-played games, while avatar items are based on what you're interested in.
+1 Speed Keyboard Escape is now the 5th Roblox game to ever surpass 5M Concurrents.
Alongside the other four games with the record, it has a Saturday update schedule and admin abuse, so maybe that's a factor into how to join the club.
Really happy to see Roblox adding Hindi to the platform.
Now I'm just hoping Hindi gets added to the Roblox Video Stars program too. It'd be awesome to see more Indian creators get recognized.
Next week, Roblox will release a new "Quick Words" feature for chat, allowing all users (even those not age verified) to send preset messages that can be seen by ages 9+ in games.
Creators will also be able to add custom phrases to this menu for their specific game(s).
Only Roblox could make a brand new game that only users aged 16+ can play, despite it being designed for kids and their parents to learn how to play Roblox together 🤦♂️
Each Roblox account is designed for age-appropriate fun. Curious to know what that means for you and your account? We've got some answers for you below.
Roblox is giving out "Starwisp", an item you can obtain for free after completing an age-check.
The description states: "Thanks for helping keep Roblox safe! Your action drew Starwisp's attention; he seeks out the light of Robloxia's heroes."
For the next 3 days, Roblox is giving away two "67" themed avatar items in honor of 6/7 day (June 7th).
The Sk67r hat can be claimed by transferring 67 Robux to another user.
The Bling 67 Necklace can be claimed by purchasing 67 Robux.
Getting banned from a Roblox game used to mean you just make a new alt and get right back in.
Roblox just killed that trick.
Game creators can now ban your entire DEVICE from their game, not just the account.
>Spin up 50 alts if you want
>Same computer = same ban
>Ban evaders get stopped hard
Right now it only works on desktop (Windows and Mac) and lasts 24 hours at a time, but Roblox already said those limits could change later.
This is a win against exploiters. W Roblox?
Roblox is age restricting items now. They're still up, but claimable as usual when you verify.
If you had the item before the change and haven't been assigned an age group, you will still have access to the item.
Discord is officially partnering with some of Roblox’s biggest games.
Games like Steal a Brainrot, Grow a Garden, and Brookhaven are now getting official Discord integrations, including:
- Rich Presence support
- Easier game invites through Discord
- Discord account linking
- Extra community moderation & safety tools for official servers
Discord says they’re bringing the same community features used by games like Riot Games and EA to Roblox games.
As of today, donation games on Roblox that utilize buying passes/developer products from other games are no longer possible.
Creators must now use the Transfers API, which allows players to donate up to 10,000 Robux a month with a Plus subscription.

When your game has had fewer than 100 highly engaged players over the last 60 days, users under the age of 16 will no longer be able to play it.
If a game is limited, it can regain access for Kids/Select users once the game has had 500 highly engaged players over the last 60 days.
