Frequently Asked Questions
How often does Roblox release major platform updates?
Roblox typically releases major platform updates every 2-3 months, with smaller updates and fixes deployed weekly. The development team follows a continuous integration approach, meaning that while major feature releases happen quarterly, improvements are constantly being rolled out. These major updates often include new creator tools, avatar features, or platform capabilities that significantly enhance the Roblox experience. The exact timing can vary based on development cycles and testing requirements. Roblox announces these updates through their official blog, Developer Forum, and social media channels. For developers, upcoming changes are often previewed in advance through the Developer Forum and beta testing programs to allow time for adaptation.
Where can I find official announcements from Roblox?
Official Roblox announcements can be found through several channels: 1) The Roblox Blog (blog.roblox.com) is the primary source for major platform announcements, feature releases, and company news, 2) The Developer Forum (devforum.roblox.com) contains technical announcements and updates specifically for developers, 3) Roblox's official social media accounts on Twitter (@Roblox), Instagram (@Roblox), and Facebook provide news updates and community engagement, 4) The Roblox YouTube channel features video announcements and developer tutorials, 5) In-platform notifications appear for major updates or events, 6) For business and investor information, the Roblox Investor Relations website (ir.roblox.com) provides quarterly reports and corporate announcements, and 7) The Roblox Community Discord server includes announcement channels for real-time updates. For the most comprehensive and reliable information, it's best to follow multiple official channels rather than relying on third-party sources.
How can I stay updated on changes that affect my child's safety on Roblox?
To stay informed about safety-related changes on Roblox: 1) Follow the Roblox Safety Blog, which specifically covers updates to safety features, parental controls, and moderation systems, 2) Check your email associated with your parent account, as Roblox sends important safety notifications to parents, 3) Review the regular updates to the Roblox Parent's Guide (corp.roblox.com/parents), which is refreshed when new safety features are added, 4) Join the Roblox Parent Hub group on the platform for community discussions and official announcements, 5) Follow @RobloxSafety on Twitter for dedicated safety updates, 6) Enable notifications in the Roblox mobile app settings for safety alerts, 7) Periodically review your child's account settings, as new safety options are added regularly, and 8) Subscribe to our newsletter at Robloxian.org, where we summarize important safety updates in parent-friendly language. For critical safety changes, Roblox typically implements a multi-channel communication approach to ensure parents are informed.
Do game updates on Roblox happen automatically?
Yes, game (experience) updates on Roblox happen automatically for players. When a developer publishes changes to their game, all players will receive these updates the next time they join the experience, without needing to manually download or install anything. This is one of the advantages of Roblox's cloud-based platform. For major updates, players might see a loading screen while new assets are downloaded. Developers can push updates at any time, and some choose to schedule updates during low-traffic periods to minimize disruption. Some games display update logs or notices to inform players about what has changed. The Roblox client (application) itself also updates automatically on most devices, though occasionally you might need to restart the app or device for client updates to take effect. This seamless update system ensures all players are always on the same version of each experience.
