How the Top Earning Games Are Making ROBUX This Fall

By Andrew Haak - November 12, 2013

It’s easy to get caught up in the “now” on ROBLOX. Every few days, there’s a new crop of popular and successful games – though only some have enough gameplay depth to maintain their chart-topping positions. But when you step back and look at ROBLOX from 30,000 feet and over the course of months rather than days, you start to see the trends and sweeping shifts of opinion. And at that point, you can draw conclusions about what’s fueling the fire – what’s working for developers and their players.

This is particularly fun in relation to game monetization, especially after the advent of the Developer’s Exchange. Now, being smart about monetizing your game can lead to real-world earnings – currently, if you accumulate 100,000 ROBUX, you can cash out for $100 U.S. dollars.

Behind the Scenes with the Games Team: The Making of Gear

By Alan Fackler - September 17, 2013

The ROBLOX Games Team is in a constant race against time–it’s their job to ensure that our builders have more gear to browse through in the Catalog each and every week, among other things. This is an extremely organized, frantic, and often fun process that is constantly in motion. We thought we’d spend some time with the Games Team to watch and document how gear is made–from planning and brainstorming, to animating and scripting, to release.

The Games That Raked in Robux This Summer

By Andrew Haak - September 10, 2013

On ROBLOX, content creators stand at a path to success that forks in myriad directions – from traditional building, coding and game development to more niche routes like film-making, character asset creation and advertising. What drives someone to succeed at any one thing is wholly individual, but many are fueled by the social capital and wealth that can stem from a great ROBLOX creation. In this article, we’re going to dive into games and worlds that have earned their creators both fame and riches using three features we’ve launched in the last year.

To start, let’s look at the games that have most effectively monetized players. These are the games that have earned the most Robux off of Game Passes, Affiliate Gear sales, and Paid Access. Making it this high in the rankings requires a blend of the right items at the right prices, and an underlying game that attracts players in the first place. This list dates back to May 1st and is current as of yesterday, September 9th.
