Roblox is a game platform that’s been steadily gaining popularity in recent years. It is essentially a game creation platform developed by Roblox Corporation.
In a sandbox-style world, players can create their avatars and design various games of their own liking. You can then invite other players to join you in playing your designed game. Roblox’s multiplayer experience makes it a highly popular choice for online gameplay with friends.
As of 2022, Roblox is available for various platforms. It was originally launched in 2004 under the name “DynaBlocks” while the game was still in beta. The name was later changed to “Roblox” and the official version of the game finally launched in 2006.
In December 2012, Roblox was first released on mobile for the ios platform. Later in July 2015, Roblox was also made available for android.
Later on, a special version for the Xbox was released in November 2015 which featured a small collection of 15 games handpicked by the Roblox developer team. Newer games were later added after they had been approved by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.
Finally, in April 2016, Roblox VR was launched. Roblox VR was available to play with the oculus rift and over 10 million 3d games were available for play.
Although a version for pc did exist before, it was in 2016 when a fully compatible version for windows 10 came out. Roblox on Windows came with its own standalone launcher for loading the game.
