Roblox Moments App
Roblox is Working on a New TikTok-like Social Media App
Highlights
Roblox Moments lets users capture and share 30-second gameplay clips with music and captions inside Roblox.
Viewers can tap clips to instantly join games, enhancing discovery and engagement within the platform.
Roblox plans to roll out APIs for developers to build custom content sharing, boosting creator-driven growth.
Roblox is working on a new short-form video platform app similar to TikTok. It is designed specifically for gamers to capture, edit, and share highlights from their favorite experiences. Announced at the company’s 2025 Developers Conference, Moments combines the addictive nature of TikTok-style clips with native integration into the Roblox universe. It allows players to not only showcase their best gameplay moments but also jump directly into games featured in videos, reducing friction between discovery and play.
Roblox Moments: A New Era for Player-Generated Content and Discovery
The Roblox Moments app is built for Roblox experiences (games) only at the moment. Players can record exciting moments in-game with a simple capture tool, then trim their clips, add music from a partnership with DistroKid, and write descriptions before sharing. The platform organizes these clips into an easily accessible feed where users can scroll, react with emojis, and instantly join games featured in the videos.
Roblox is releasing the source code of Moments to developers, opening the door for studios to tailor discovery and sharing experiences unique to their games. Upcoming APIs will empower creators to build trending clip showcases, content-based leaderboards, and personalized recommendation systems that keep players engaged longer.
The release comes amid a booming creator economy. According to CEO David Baszucki, developers earned over $1 billion through Roblox’s Developer Exchange program last year. To help creators monetize their efforts further, the company announced an 8.5% increase in the rate at which Robux is converted to real currency, boosting earnings.
Roblox Moments also represents a critical step toward hosting more content within its own platform. Over the past year, Roblox-related videos have generated more than one trillion views on external platforms like YouTube. Bringing these clips home is expected to deepen user engagement and encourage organic discovery.
Alongside Moments, Roblox unveiled powerful AI-driven creator tools such as text-to-3D object generation and real-time voice translation, designed to enhance creativity and inclusion. These innovations promise richer, more dynamic gaming experiences. As Roblox continues its rapid growth, boasting over 111 million average daily active users and record concurrent player counts, Moments positions the platform at the intersection of gaming, social media, and content creation.
