Roblox Sets April 30 Launch for $4.99 Roblox Plus, Halting New Premium Sign-ups

The change signals a pivot to spend-based discounts that emphasize creator incentives.

Overview

  • Roblox announced the Roblox Plus subscription Friday, setting a global April 30 launch at $4.99 per month.
  • Subscribers get a 10% discount on in-game and avatar purchases that rises to 20% after three straight months, with Roblox covering the cut so creators earn the same per sale.
  • Perks include free, unlimited private servers across supported games and fee-free Robux transfers, with parental approval required for users under 18 and age checks for adults.
  • Roblox is ending new sign-ups for Premium, existing members get a one-month Plus trial, and on May 30 the 10% bonus on additional Robux purchases for Premium will be removed.
  • Creator payouts expand through payments for time spent by Plus users in paid private servers and a new in-game sign-up prompt that pays 250 Robux per month for up to three months per new subscriber, while optional Plus bundles with monthly Robux are planned soon after launch with pricing to be announced and coverage notes the shift may favor heavier spenders.
