Roblox is an immersive platform focused on bringing people together to create, educate, and share with one another in meaningful ways. Our company mission is to connect one billion people with optimism and civility. As such, safety and civility have been the foundation of Roblox from the start, and have become even more important as we grow and evolve.

On July 8, 2024 the United States celebrates National Video Game Day. To celebrate, FOSI asked its video game member companies about all things online safety and video games. Laura Higgins, the Senior Director of Community Safety & Civility at Roblox, had the following advice to share.

Roblox is a platform where you can join millions of 3D, immersive experiences all created by our community. We envision a space where ultimately billions of people can come together with civility and optimism, to create, make friends, and share experiences. Roblox has recently been referred to as a “metaverse”, which isn’t quite how we see ourselves, but we thought it might be helpful to explain what the “metaverse” is, and how platforms, and you as parents and caregivers can help make 3D immersive spaces safe for kids and teens.
