Roblox is a game platform that is gaining popularity among teenagers in the United States. You can make your own games and enjoy games made by others. You can also make transactions through social networking, chat, and self-call.
It was established in 2004, and last year, there were 33 million active users a day, an 80% increase from the previous year.
Roblox is evaluated as a stock that meets the recent trend of’metaverse’ and is raising expectations in the market. Metaverse is a compound word of Meta and Universe, which means transcendence. The boundary between the virtual world and the reality gradually becomes blurred, reflecting the reality in which real life takes place in the virtual world.
Related industries such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are also gaining attention. Market research firm Strategy Analytics predicts that the global metaverse market will reach 315 trillion won by 2035.
