Roblox Unveils New Earning Opportunities and AI Creation Tools
Roblox recently announced a series of changes coming to the platform in the next few months and years. These changes aim to give creators more ways to earn money through their experiences and provide them with new tools to create content.
New Revenue Opportunities for Creators
The company is introducing a new program that will give creators a higher share of revenue for their paid experiences on the desktop. This change marks a significant increase in revenue sharing for creators. Roblox chief product officer Manuel Bronstein believes this change will encourage more traditional game developers to bring their games to the platform.
Roblox is also partnering with Shopify to allow creators to sell physical merchandise directly within their experiences. Additionally, the company is rolling out a “Price Optimization” tool that will run tests to help developers identify the best price for in-experience purchases.
Powering Generative AI Creation
Roblox is working on a 3D foundational model that will power generative creation on its platform. The model will be open source and multimodal, allowing creators to generate 3D content using text, video, and prompts. According to Bronstein, this model will enable more people to develop and create games by making it easier for anybody to get started on the platform.
Making Roblox More Social
Roblox is introducing new ways for users to interact with each other. The company is adding “Party,” a new way for a group of friends to move around Roblox together as a group in a private chat. Additionally, Roblox is introducing forums later this year to give users a dedicated space to share feedback and discuss gameplay.
These changes are part of Roblox’s ambitious goal of becoming a leading gaming platform. With the introduction of these new features, Roblox is poised to continue its growth and provide creators with more opportunities to monetize their content.
