Which California city is Roblox Corporation headquartered in?

Roblox Corporation is headquartered in San Mateo, California.

San Mateo is a city on the San Francisco Peninsula, between San Francisco and San Jose. Roblox lists its headquarters there, placing the company in the Bay Area technology corridor rather than in the larger neighboring cities sometimes associated with Silicon Valley.

Roblox was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel. Its headquarters history can cause confusion because the company began developing its platform in Menlo Park, and the founders’ earlier company, Knowledge Revolution, was also based in the Bay Area. Those locations are part of Roblox’s origin story, but they are not the corporation’s current headquarters city.

The company develops and operates Roblox, a platform built around user-created experiences rather than a single conventional game. Roblox formally launched in 2006 and later became a publicly traded company through a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021.
