Roblox, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2004 and operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. With approximately 7,430 employees, the company specializes in software development, providing a gaming platform where users can create as well as play videogames.
On September 18, 2026, Roblox launched "The Hunt 2026" event, which features games, user-generated content (UGC) rewards, and "Year Infinity," accessible through an event hub on the Roblox platform. The company has not specified if each year will be represented by a single game or if certain years will include multiple experiences. Also on September 18, Roblox unveiled further details about "Roblox Everywhere" at its Developers Conference. This initiative, initially announced on September 11, allows creators to publish their games as standalone applications for mobile, PC, and consoles, enabling developers to reach players beyond the core Roblox platform while continuing to utilize its underlying technology and services. The company clarified that this functionality does not fully free a game from Roblox's platform. Previously, on September 17, Senator Ana Theresia “Risa” N. Hontiveros-Baraquel stated that Roblox is open to appointing a qualified third-party local representative in the Philippines, following discussions focused on strengthening the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (SAGIP Bata) Act.
