Roblox has seen major growth in daily active users and in-game spending. The success of Roblox may show a proof-of-concept for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse vision.

Roblox operates a free online platform with millions of games made by its own users. Mr Baszucki started building it in the early 2000s with fellow programmer Erik Cassel and it launched in 2006.
