Tracking the latest Roblox news and community reactions.
Roblox has launched Cross-Server Chat and Chat Summaries globally, allowing players to communicate with up to 400 people across different servers of the same experience. These features aim to foster community growth and help users catch up on conversations, with future updates planned for private channels and dedicated APIs.
Roblox is introducing a one-time, refundable 1,000 Robux publishing fee per game as an alternative to a Plus/Premium subscription for reaching users under 16. This new requirement, rolling out May 19th, aims to deter bad actors and spam while remaining accessible to well-intentioned creators.
Roblox is discontinuing cross-game sales to prevent fraud, introducing a new Transfers API for secure in-game Robux transactions. The update also features advanced R15 avatar joints for enhanced animation and the full release of the Scene Analysis tool for performance optimization.
Roblox's Spring 2026 Creator Roadmap update introduces 52 new features, including 4K textures, emissive masks, and advanced acoustic simulations. Significant AI enhancements to Assistant, such as Planning Mode and procedural model generation, aim to accelerate the development process for creators.
Roblox has updated its Ads Manager with a new 'Earnings' campaign objective aimed at helping high-monetization creators reach players likely to spend. The update also includes more accurate attribution logic for ad reporting and new filters to track performance across different user segments.
Roblox is facing significant community backlash over updates that incentivize R15 over R6 avatars and restrict gamepass sales, which may negatively impact donation-based games. Users are also reporting major bugs with R15 avatar rigs and expressing frustration over increasingly strict and seemingly unfair enforcement bans.
Roblox has fully released the Reimport feature, allowing creators to update 3D models and textures directly from external files while preserving existing properties and hierarchies. This update introduces configurable upload inventories for individual or group accounts and automatically saves import settings to streamline future workflows.
