Wondering about its longevity? Think beyond tech bubbles. Imagine a realm where education, business, and social interactions converge, reshaping global communities. Players have been building on Roblox for over a decade now, and on average spend around 2.5 hours per day on the platform. Join us on a monthly expedition as we delve into diverse metaverse topics.

We’re delighted by the initial player response to our Roblox partnership with Dovetail Games! 🚂 Check the game out here: https://lnkd.in/eDvz2X3u Train Sim World Tycoon is a blend of rail simulation & station building in classic Roblox style brimming with Talewind’s signature flair, polish & charisma. It was a pleasure to bring this IP to life on a new platform and to a fresh audience for this incredible franchise. The KPI's are looking fantastic and we're "on track" not only as the number 1 train game on the platform but one of the hottest brand experiences of the month. This success means a lot as it hasn’t always been easy building something that resonates with Roblox players en-masse. There have been many painful learnings and pivots along the way but we pride ourselves on being a games studio first rather than an agency, focusing on projects that can leave a lasting impact and engage players consistently, rather than flash in the pan events. There are a lot of exciting features coming up on the roadmap, so check it out and keep an eye out for continuous improvement in the coming weeks & months. Thanks to the wonderful team at DtG for your hard work bringing this to life: Gemma Johnson-Brown FCIPD Dan Holman Jon Rissik James Day Roxy Francis Stacey H. Kieran Hunt Estelle Timothy Benjamin Symons Carla Condemi de Felice (she/her) Cara Martin Darius Midcalf Alex Gate Jan Klama Anne-Marie Wilson As well as Lauren F. & Markus Okano at Roblox for their tireless support from the platform side. Special shoutout to all of team Talewind , past & present for your talent, guts and good spirits this past year delivering world class work with such passion amongst a tough backdrop of games industry instability. If you respresent a brand or IP that is interested in partnering up to reach millions of new users, feel free to drop me a message, we’d love to help you grow a community of super fans on Roblox.

Did you know that acquiring users on Roblox is incredibly cost-effective compared to TikTok? With Cost Per Play (CPP) as low as $0.01, you could gain up to 600 Roblox players for the price of just one TikTok user install. Imagine the possibilities: Engage hundreds of players on Roblox for the same investment it takes to acquire a single user on TikTok. Let us bring your brand to Roblox and connect with an active, engaged community like never before!
