Roblox App

Roblox is a global online platform and storefront where users go to play games. It is not a single game, but rather a platform that hosts games created by its own users. Originally founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 as DynaBlocks before being renamed, the platform has grown into a massive ecosystem that blends social networking with user-generated content.

The platform's development and digital infrastructure are primarily managed from the United States, specifically from its headquarters in San Mateo, California. As a purely digital product, it is distributed globally through app stores and web browsers, though its primary engineering and corporate operations remain US-centric.

Roblox is owned by Roblox Corporation, which became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. The corporation continues to lead the metaverse space, focusing on expanding its creator economy and improving immersive experiences for millions of active daily users worldwide.
