NOW WITH ROBLOX MOMENTS PLAYERS CAN SHARE GAME ACTION

Roblox Corp. is testing a short-form video application that will allow users to capture and share 30-second clips of their gameplay, the company announced at its annual developers conference in San Jose, California.

The new app, called Roblox Moments, will be released in beta. Viewers of the clips will be able to tap directly into games they like, creating a new channel for discovery and engagement. Roblox is also making the app’s source code available so game developers can customize it for their own products.

Roblox, one of the world’s largest video-game platforms, relies on independent developers to build titles. Over the past year, the company distributed more than $1 billion in revenue to its developer community. Roblox currently has 111.8 million daily active users.

There is already a large demand for Roblox-related video content on external platforms. On YouTube alone, Roblox clips have accumulated more than 1 trillion views.
