Roblox was officially released on September 1, 2006[4].
The platform’s development began in 2004 under the name Dynablocks before undergoing a period of beta testing in 2005[1]. It was then renamed Roblox and made available to the public in September 2006[1]. This official launch included the first public version of Roblox Studio, which allowed users to start creating their own games and experiences on the platform[4].
Early community-made games and popular genres emerged soon after the release, reflecting the rapid growth and creative engagement that would define Roblox in the years to follow[2].
