@TheNexusAvenger There go my dreams of ever finishing my Innovation projects. I can't afford that subscription, I'm too young, the only option I have left is to quit. Thanks Roblox.

Roblox is now, finally, officially no longer "FREE" to devs.
Bloxy News@Bloxy_News
Starting May 19, 2026, Roblox will be updating the requirements to make games public to all users (including Roblox Kids and Roblox Select): - Complete an age check - Be ID verified - Have 2-factor authentication setup - Have an active Roblox Plus subscription - Have an account in good standing - Complete a new per-game evaluation process
English
@BuildHero For all the teenage devs learning how to make games on this platform, this destroys their chances of ever making it. When this update goes through they will have no choice but to quit if they cannot pay the monthly subscription. Ask yourself. If you're 14-15, could you pay it?
English
The backlash from the “Having Roblox+ publish games” makes no sense to me. $5/m to publish on a platform that offers hosting, data storage, and a massive global audience all while making the platform safer? Sign me up, now and forever.
As a developer, if you can’t make that money back with a game then you may need to reconsider some things and assess why you’re actually mad at this situation. Back in the day you used to NEED Builders Club to publish more than 10 games, and OBC (20/month) to DevEx for that matter. And to my knowledge, with this change you’re still able to create and test games within groups without paying anything—just not publish publicly. Is there something I’m missing or misinformed on, because all of this seems rather performative?

@SirDapper Child safety is great and they need it, but not at the expense of annihilating all small developers on this platform. This will go down as the worst update to ever come to roblox. The brain drain of talent is going to be like no other.
English
I think Roblox players need to realize that there are two options:
1. Child Safety + Heavy Platform Restrictions
2. No Platform Restrictions
The internet has changed; 2 is not working anymore, and we have SEEN that.
Yes, the changes suck, but I'd pick child safety every time.

@MrNightfoxx Rising developers? People trying to put their creativity on display? Not any more. This puts creativity behind a paywall. This is not what roblox stands for. If this goes into effect you're going to see a mass exodus of development talent. It will be the end of times.
English
@MrNightfoxx You need to realize. For so many of us, me included, who are younger developers and cannot pay a subscription, this crushes our chances of ever being successful on this platform. They are prioritizing profit over creativity with this. This will ANNIHILATE small devs.
English
I know A LOT of people hate this change... but this is actually a pretty W update when it comes to keeping kids safe on the platform.
The world wanted Roblox to be held more accountable for the games published on their platforms... the community wanted the same. Cut the problem off at the start by making it a lot harder to publish the games in the first place.
I'm sure there will be some refinement (and those serious about making good games will adapt) but if we want to push the bad actors off the platform, making it harder and more public for them is the way to do it.
Want to make a game that promotes nefarious things to kids? Now your name and face are attached to it.

Roblox is changing the eligibility to upload games on the platform. To publish for all ages, you now need: - Roblox Plus; - ID Verification & Age Check; - 2-Step Verification enabled; - and have your account in "good standing". Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts. To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need: - An account in "good standing"; - An age check; and - An account that is at least 2 days old. Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use. Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.

@KreekCraft This is prioritizing the strong popular games over rising small ones. Terrible to see.
English
@KreekCraft Kreek I wish you could see this from a small indie developer's perspective. This is devastating. All of us who are younger and cannot pay that monthly charge to publish our games simply put cannot keep existing in this platform. We have no option but to quit.
English
@KreekCraft Roblox is about to see a major brain drain of talent. This makes it so much more difficult for rising creators to make it on this platform. Profit is being prioritized over creativity.
English
@leroythemeow @Roblox This update obliterates small creators. We can no longer publish games without paying a subscription. This isn’t protecting kids, it’s blatant profit. They’re taking away the very thing that attracted talent to the platform in the first place.
English
@Roblox most of the people who complain about this update have never touched roblox studio in their lives.
and being mad over roblox trying to make it so kids wont be served inappropriate games is another level of hypocrisy, especially after everyone was asking for just that for years..
English
To support Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, we're adding new requirements to publish games on Roblox. Check out our DevForum post for more information and join our AMA on April 16th at 12:30 PM PT to ask us any questions. devforum.roblox.com/new-publishing…

@Roblox There are so many of us, me included, who have spent years creating games as small creators on this platform that anyone can play. Now you’ve stripped that away. Where does that leave us to go? Nowhere. All we can do is quit.
English
@Roblox You are going to kill all of the small game dev studios. This update will completely obliterate the community. You will destroy roblox with this. I hope you turn back, or this platform is about to fall straight off a cliff.
English
@elonmusk More than ever dude, make sure your security is tight. We cannot afford to lose more people to all of this. They’re going after popular popular people, YOU are one of those people. Be safe.
English
@dom_lucre We have to come together man, it’s the only way. Let the extremists carry on, but the rest of us need to rally with each other. Republicans and Democrats. We can’t afford to go on like this, we just can’t.
English
I’ve seen a lot in my 2 years of being a creator but what I just saw with Charlie Kirk has changed me forever. We have to pray for a miracle and work together. Let all of our differences go in this moment.

@CarlGBrooks I don't think anything else really comes near Songs of War in terms of storytelling and scope. This series was really like no other. People have always asked for a "Minecraft movie" but yet don't realize they already have it. SoW WAS that good.
English
@CarlGBrooks I know squared animation got the rights back to the series and set it to "Lack of funding". I'm hoping that they go ahead and continue it. This was literally a fully-fledged movie. It's a shame people like Mojang didn't support this when it came out in 2020.

The main features of Gameplay Update: Part 1 include the custom made gun system created entirely by scratch by Snake, as well as effectively doubling the map size in preparation for Gameplay Update: Part 2. Lots to look forwards to!
English
This update, otherwise known as Gameplay Update: Part 1, will be the first of two massive updates that will finally add very much needed gameplay to the IMDHQ.
English
Let's just say, that "Christmas" update was delayed quite heavily, BUT it will have been worth it, as we've been able to include more into this massive update, which will better suit everybody for a long while!
