The long-running multiplayer sandbox title has been drawing gamers in to play, create, and socialize for nearly 20 years.

In 2012, Roblox expanded to mobile, which further boosted its reach, with up to 80% of its users accessing the game via mobile devices. The title’s enduring popularity is a testament to the strong connection its legions of fans have developed with the Roblox universe.
Roblox is known for its vast array of user-generated content, from designing and building games to creating entire virtual worlds and crafting accessories for avatars. Among these creations, however, games stand out as one of the most popular, with many user-generated titles attracting millions of players daily. The platform offers a wide variety of game genres, including fighting, racing, and open-world experiences. With a large portion of its user base in the younger demographic, Roblox is considered one of the best games for kids, as long as parents activate the PIN to prevent children from spending real money or Robux while playing.

A Redditor named No_Asparagus_2686 recently shared a photo of a real-life Robux coin they created by metal casting.

The Redditor explained that the coin was made by casting a mixture of bronze and copper, and many commenters praised its accuracy and impressive appearance.
Roblox Fan Creates Real-Life Robux Coin by Metal Casting
In Roblox, Robux coins are traditionally used to purchase in-game items like accessories and premium content. However, recently, Roblox shifted towards selling items for real money instead of Robux. The change in the game’s economy was announced at the 2024 Roblox Developer Conference, with the company explaining that it would allow developers to price their paid experiences in real currency.
The move away from Robux was met with frustration from many players, and it came shortly after another controversy. In 2024, a report claimed that Roblox had inflated its player count by as much as 42%. However, the company has denied these allegations, and no formal legal action has been taken so far.
Despite facing some challenges, it hasn’t all been bad news for the game. In 2023, the long-awaited launch of Roblox on PS4 and PS5 finally arrived, opening the title up to a whole new audience of players. The move to PlayStation was met with enthusiasm by fans, and the access to its nearly 150 million PS4 and PS5 systems around the world will likely help it maintain its popularity for years to come.
