Roblox Game Platform

Roblox is a global online platform and game creation system developed and operated by Roblox Corporation. Originally founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 as DynaBlocks, the platform was officially released in 2006. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users, utilizing the programming language Lua.

While the platform is digital and hosted on servers primarily in the United States and through various global cloud providers, its development remains headquartered in San Mateo, California. Roblox has grown into a massive ecosystem that includes its own virtual currency, Robux, and a vast developer community.

The brand is owned by Roblox Corporation, which became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the company remains an independent entity with significant institutional investment, maintaining its headquarters in the United States. It continues to expand its reach into the metaverse and immersive digital experiences.
