Recommended For You Algorithm Improvements That Better Value Long-Term Retention

You guys don’t know when to stop screwing things up, don’t you?

I may be missing something, but I’m confused about how this works for new games. If these signals are based on users who organically joined from Recommended For You, wouldn’t a new game need RFY traffic first before it can build strong RFY stats? Ads don’t fully solve that either, because ad players

How are new games evaluated by the algorithm? especially since now, it will take a huge 28 days until the home recommendation signals are available

This change is significant

For major algorithm changes like this, we should be given advance notice to adapt our games, rather than just having them randomly thrown off a cliff

it was insinuated when they started testing signals in april, i’m cooked too bro

You know what would be a massive improvement to Recommendations? Being able to mute words we don’t like. I have been on Roblox for nearly 18 years now. Not ONCE have I ever played a brainrot or Furry game. Yet I keep seeing those on my home page, even after marking them all as “Not Interested”… Ever

This is all well and good, but the fact remains that we can’t find the games we want to play, because there is no discovery in the discovery algorithm. If I want to search for a scifi game or a platformer, I can’t. If I want to continue playing a game I played 9 days ago, I can’t because the continu

Not to mention the continue play sort also getting resorted NOT in chronological order, it makes absolutely no sense to me why a game I played a month ago would appear before one I played a few days ago When I go to the continue play section, it’s because I want to play a game that I played recently

Could we get a banner in Studio or the Creator Dashboard linking to this post please? This is a major algorithm change that should be spotlighted as much as possible

So much THIS! The current recommendations system makes way too many assumptions. Just because a game is popular with some audiences does not mean everyone else is going to like it. A proper algorithm would prioritize genres that we already play. Like, why is my home page full of furry and brainrot,

I can see there are three different charts for each metric, are they each considered separately for the algorithm with one type weighted more than others? or are they combined and the breakdowns are just to help the developer identify where to make improvements?

How will it affect newly released game’s evaluation period? It was always around a week, does this mean it will take up to a month now?

How about players joining with 1.5GB RAM devices who end up crashing in first few minutes? These will affect the bounce rate because of their device limitations.

This is a really bad change, basically made it so you need top stats to even have a chance of hitting algo.

OGTheWinner: created by people with actual experience Who could have guessed that better people would make better games that get better results

BurningEmbar: Each signal is based on users who organically joined from the Recommended for You sort on Home. Here is a 2 min overview video of the overall algorithm WAIT hold on , so if I understood correctly, now the algorithm takes into account ONLY organic (Home Recommendations) visitors statist

@BurningEmbar Looking for some clarification here, but this change doesn’t seem like it will make the algorithm push your game slower than usual, instead rewarding well designed games while also giving a more transparent timer per say for developers to implement changes to their underpreforming game
