And, at long last, we announced that next month, millions of Playstation console owners will be able to access the full catalog of Roblox experiences. Getting our developers’ experiences onto these two amazing platforms is a significant step toward making Roblox available on all of the most popular devices. And we’re not stopping there! 3: Growing a Vibrant Virtual Economy With More Ways to Earn
We will open source Roblox Connect and have built it only using public platform APIs. By providing Roblox Connect directly to our millions of creators, we unleash their collective genius to develop new communications experiences. While we cannot possibly imagine all the ways our creators will use this technology, here are two examples of the potential power of this new functionality: We plan to enable a way to easily create an avatar from an image and a text prompt, then customize it and add it to the user inventory to start using it. Today, avatar creation takes an experienced creator days, or up to a week. But in his keynote, Dave showed how easy it will be to create an avatar in just minutes with these new tools.

Even though Roblox has been available for over a decade, it has only started entering the mainstream in the last few years. It has seen its registered users increase from 35 to 150 million in three years, with 50 million of those added during the coronavirus pandemic.
For anyone who has watched Ready Player One, Roblox feels like the closest thing to a 0.01 version of that multi-layered, user generated video game platform. For those that haven’t watched the film, Roblox is a massively-multiplayer online platform, which hosts millions of worlds created by partnered developers, who create items for the platform. Well done to all of this year's stars, hosts, and wonderful winners! In addition to the physical trophy, they'll each receive a virtual version for their avatar to display with pride. No matter where they go in the Metaverse, everyone will know what they achieved. At RDC, we shared new tools that will help maintain a safe environment as we roll out new features. We’ve built an ML architecture that detects policy-violating voice communication. This model is the first of its kind deployed at scale, where the AI is directly evaluating voice content and expression, rather than first translating voice to text and then classifying that text. The English-language moderation model will be released shortly, with four additional languages to follow. From its 2020 valuation to two days after IPO, Roblox increased its valuation by 850 percent More Games App DataThere are approximately 40 million games on Roblox, although that number fluctuates every few months What demographic is Roblox most popular? At RDC we unveiled new tools we’ll be rolling out throughout the year to make it as seamless as possible to create and publish avatars from anywhere:
Long before the show premiered, a galaxy's worth of players, creators, and developers converged on the Bloxys hub's high-tech spaceport. Visitors roamed an environment out of science-fiction, cast their votes for popular categories, and chased down limited-time virtual merch inside the space-age complex. But all that was just a prelude to the adventure about to unfold. At last year’s RDC, we announced our plan to launch Immersive Ads, which we did this year. And while this was a year of learning, we are already seeing early signs of creators—especially our mid- to long-tail creators—earning up to 20 percent from Immersive Ads. Brands are also seeing the impact of these ads as a way to reach their communities more effectively. For example, H&M’s portal ads drove an 11 percent increase in the number of people joining its experience, with 97 percent of those people joining the experience for the first time. More than 11,000 people organically joined a friend who had teleported into the H&M experience through an Immersive Ad. Roblox has expanded onto all mobile platforms and has launched more restrictive versions of its game on Xbox One. It has also launched a virtual reality edition for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

We’ve also released a preview function that enables creators to see how their avatar will work with different facial expressions, emotes, accessories, and layered clothing. And coming later this year, we’ll release ML-powered tools that will automate the process of rigging, skinning, caging, and segmenting the model for the creator. We’ll also continue expanding on the ability to express emotion through avatars, going beyond facial expressions to hand gestures and upper body movements, and new machine learning (ML) techniques that enable more realistic avatar movement. In the near future, a person’s avatar will mirror their exact facial expressions, right down to the same blink rate. All of this is important to enable people to have emotional connections in these immersive experiences in the same way we do outside of them. We’re so excited to see what our creators build with these new capabilities. Sharing New Ways to Communicate Roblox is powered by a global community of millions of developers who produce their own immersive multiplayer experiences using Roblox Studio, our intuitive desktop design tool.
