We’re on the verge of interactive, real-time, photorealistic video generation with what are called World Models. These require a fair amount of expensive compute, but costs will come down over time. Today, these interactions are essentially real-time dreams. They lack the persistence and shared logic that turns a video into a multiplayer game. Or concert. Or classroom. Or the holodeck. We believe the ultimate architecture for gaming (and the holodeck) is Roblox Reality. It’s a hybrid architecture that marries the structured data and logic of the Roblox Engine and Roblox Cloud with the generative power of Video World Models. The Roblox Engine provides the underlying synchronized ground truth—the score, physics, multiplayer sync, etc.—while our video model acts as a Super Upsampler to layer on photorealistic detail. We believe this will ultimately remove barriers to high-fidelity creation, allowing a team of three people to build a narrative-driven, photorealistic masterpiece in a single week. This is an early look at turning solitary AI dreams into a social, playable reality. about.roblox.com/newsroom/2026/…
Wait what I thought Roblox has been on PS5?
Roblox is releasing Roblox Kids (under 9), Roblox Select (9-15), and the standard Roblox (16+). This will roll out in early June and change how parental control works on that platform. Roblox Kids (<9) will have: - access to games with a Minimal or Mild content maturity label. - all communication disabled by default. Parents have the option to enable chat, however, it will be restricted to Trusted Friends & users under 13. Party chat will be unavailable. - a distinctive blue background. Roblox Select (9-15) will have: - access to games with a Minimal, Mild, or Moderate content maturity label. - for ages 9-12, users will have access to see experience chat, but unless a parent permits their child to use chat in-game, it is not enabled by default. If doing so, they can chat with users under 16 & Trusted Friends. They can use Party Chat for Trusted Friends or a group of six after receiving parental consent. Parents have the option to turn this off. - for ages 13-15, chat is enabled by default, text and voice chat options are also available. Users can chat with ages 9-17 or Trusted Friends. - a distinctive visual treatment indicating account type. Roblox (16+) will have: - Visibility into friends, screen time, and spending until the user has reached the age of adulthood, which is 18. - Chat is on by default, unless banned in your region. - All content maturity labels, excluding Restricted. Users will automatically transition from Roblox Kids -> Roblox Select -> Roblox upon reaching the proper age. Roblox will not allow Roblox Kids & Select to feature games with sensitive issues, social hangouts, or free-form drawing games; however, parents can approve specific games that are otherwise unavailable to their child.
