Wenn Ihr nie von Roblox gehört habt, fragt mal Eure Freunde, die schon Kinder haben
It is strange that presumably few have heard of Roblox, even though the Minecraft-like game has around 48 million monthly users.
Roblox is a type of social gaming platform. In the sandbox, players have many possibilities, can build objects and buildings, and even create their own games.
In total, the approximately 48 million monthly users have created over 22 million games on the platform. Games are played in worlds that resemble a mix of Lego and Minecraft.
A platform for creative kids and teenagers
Roblox was launched in 2005 and is available for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Amazon devices, and Xbox One. There is even a virtual reality version. The product is primarily aimed at children and teenagers aged between six and 16 who want to implement their own ideas.
It is possible to create virtual worlds that players can explore together and experience adventures: Players can visit an amusement park and ride a roller coaster. Plenty of mini-games or mazes delight fans just as much as racing games, adventures, and RPGs.
The development studio Roblox Corporation has now secured an investment of 92 million dollars. This is to further expand the platform, especially with regard to the mobile games market. Investors are thrilled by the rapid growth of Roblox and state that the community can compete with that of globally recognized and large computer games.
The number of players is continuously growing, and this is the ideal time for investors to come on board. While the number of monthly users is now around 48 million, it was only seven million five years ago.
A lucrative business
For those who use Roblox to create games, it is even possible to earn money with their self-developed products. Roblox has paid out about 9.2 million dollars to some developers. Some of them earn between 50,000 and 140,000 dollars per month. Of course, Roblox also profits from the developers’ earnings. Registration and use of Roblox is free through the website.

As Roblox shows, there are products that are extremely successful and of which many players are unaware of their existence. 48 million monthly users is a number that even large players in the MMORPG market can only dream of. Sometimes it seems worthwhile to target a different market. Even though casual games, children’s games, and console or mobile games are often laughed at by “core gamers” – Roblox could silence that laughter.
