Roblox Corporation operates a user-generated-content-based metaverse platform where users create and enjoy games and experiences. With hundreds of millions of monthly active users, it ranks among the world’s leading gaming and social platforms. After emerging as a go-to virtual playground during the COVID-19 pandemic, Roblox went public successfully. Since then, expanding its adult user base and diversifying revenue streams—while balancing safety regulations with profitability—has remained a central strategic challenge.
