Roblox revealed its full-year and fourth-quarter financial results for 2022, showing growth across the board, proving people still love Roblox games

There are some blocky ones - similar to lego characters, more accurate human-looking ones, and a handful of monsters, clowns, and other strange creatures, all in colourful outfits, some pulling poses, some jumping up.

Roblox revealed its financial results for 2022 today, for both the whole year and the last three months. They show an increase in revenue, 16% year-over-year, an increase in active daily users, 23% year-over-year, and an increase in hours engaged, 19% year-over-year.

So, surprise surprise, Roblox is a big deal, and it’s continuing to grow. As revealed in a recent report from Qustodio, Roblox screen time among kids has grown massively over the last few years as well, so this doesn’t exactly come as a shock.

“2022 was a year of innovation and invention for Roblox,” said David Baszucki, Founder and CEO of Roblox. “With 65 million daily active users in January, we are driving towards our vision to reimagine the way people come together by enabling deeper forms of expression, communication and immersion.”
