Roblox Discovers Adults Also Exist, Startling Everyone Involved

KEY POINTS

•By January 31, 2025, Roblox reported 45 percent of its daily users completed its age verification process.
•Among verified users, 27 percent are adults who spend more money on the platform than users under 18.
•Roblox plans to attract more adults by expanding 'high-fidelity' game genres that generate the most revenue.

In a stunning revelation that shocked absolutely no one, Roblox disclosed in its 2025 year-end earnings report that 45 percent of daily active users have completed the thrilling ordeal known as 'age verification' as of January 31st. Among this brave cohort, a surprising 27 percent are over 18 years old—adults, if you can believe it. Even more scandalous, these grown-ups are apparently splurging on virtual blocky toys with more enthusiasm than their underage counterparts. To cash in on this adult fans’ money firehose, Roblox is rolling out more 'high-fidelity' genres—fancy-talk for prettier games—because nothing screams maturity like pixelated avatars throwing virtual parties. The company vows to prioritize ‘largest and highest-monetizing genres,’ presumably to convert our midlife crises into digital purchases.
