Roblox Offers Up to 25% More Robux for Direct Purchases Outside App Stores
The company incentivizes users to buy Robux through its website or gift cards, bypassing app store fees.
- Roblox now provides up to 25% more Robux for purchases made via its website, gift cards, or on computers instead of through app stores or consoles.
- The change, announced on Roblox's developer forum, is a permanent update and not a limited-time holiday promotion.
- Users who purchase $9.99 worth of Robux using eligible methods will now receive 1,000 Robux instead of the previous 800 Robux.
- The move is seen as a way for Roblox to reduce reliance on app stores, which take significant fees from in-app purchases, reportedly up to 23.3% of each dollar spent.
- This adjustment reflects broader industry tensions over app store fees, following similar actions by other companies like Epic Games and YouTube.
