What company owns Roblox?

Roblox Corporation owns Roblox, the online game platform and game-creation system. The company develops and operates the service, while millions of users create and play experiences through it.

Roblox Corporation was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel. The project began as DynaBlocks, was renamed Roblox in 2005, and officially launched in 2006. Its roots in educational physics software helped shape the platform's emphasis on building, experimenting, and user-created content.

A common mix-up is confusing Roblox with a publisher or studio that merely makes games available on the platform. Valve, Epic Games, and Microsoft are separate gaming companies and do not own Roblox. Roblox Corporation also owns or has acquired related technology and communications businesses, including Guilded, but Roblox remains its flagship product.

Roblox is not one single traditional game: it is a platform powered by Roblox Studio, where creators build interactive experiences using the company's tools and services.
