Roblox Online Platform

Roblox is an expansive online gaming platform and game creation system that allows users to program games and play games created by others. Founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform has grown into a global phenomenon, particularly among younger audiences.

Originally developed in the United States, the brand remains headquartered in San Mateo, California. While the 'product' is digital and hosted on servers primarily based in the US, its accessibility is global. The brand is owned and operated by Roblox Corporation, which is a publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The platform represents a unique blend of social networking, gaming, and creative development, maintaining a self-sustaining ecosystem of user-generated content.
