Roblox is a multiplayer gaming experience aimed at children and young adults. Roblox allows its users to create their own games, which can then be played online by themselves or other users.

Roblox is one of the most popular games globally. This aligns with data from Business of Apps, which shows the game was downloaded 205 million times throughout 2024. This surpasses Subway Surfers (203 million) and Block Blast (198 million).

However, the game, created in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, has consistently reported losses.

According to Roblox Corporation's financial reports compiled by Databoks, its losses fluctuated during Q1 2024 to Q2 2025.

The highest net loss occurred recently, in Q2 2025, amounting to US$278.37 million or Rp4.53 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp16,291 per US$). Despite this, Roblox recorded revenue of US$1.08 billion or Rp17.6 trillion, a 34.86% increase from the same period the previous year.

The lowest loss occurred in Q2 2024, at US$205.88 million or Rp3.35 trillion. Despite the fluctuations, Roblox's losses consistently exceeded US$200 million per quarter for six consecutive quarters.

Potential Block in Indonesia

Roblox may be a favorite game for many children worldwide; however, its creation has also yielded some impacts.

Katadata reported that the Minister of State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi, acknowledged the possibility of blocking games containing violent content if proven to negatively impact the behavior of young people.

This followed a statement by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Mu'ti, who banned elementary school students from playing Roblox due to its violent content.

"If we feel that it has crossed the line, that what is shown there influences the behavior of the children, then we won't rule out (blocking it)," said Prasetyo at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (August 5, 2025).

According to Prasetyo, the potential block is intended to protect Indonesia's younger generation. This action will be taken if evidence of violent content within Roblox is found.
