How Much Money Do Roblox-Devs Really Make?

One of the most popular, and most earning games on Roblox is Adopt Me, which peaked 1.7 Million concurrent players.

At some point in time you've probably heard of the popular gaming platform called Roblox, Roblox is a free to use platform with millions of games and players. The platform is used by players and developers all over the world. Some developers making upwards of 11 Million dollars off their games!

How Do Roblox-Developers Make Money?

There are many types of Roblox Developers. Some make games, some work commissions, and others sell their assets and work to others for Robux.

Robux is Roblox's virtual currency which can be purchased for money or earned from selling goods. Players can use Robux to buy items for their avatars or in-game passes and perks.

Now you might be wondering how exactly do developers earn Robux? A developer can make a game which has game-passes that are sold for Robux. A player will buy a game-pass in that game and the player in exchange, will receive an in-game perk or item while the developer will earn 70% of the Robux from the sale. Developers can also sell clothing for player's avatars along with items they can wear across the platform.

Recently Roblox has been creating more a more ways for Developers to earn Robux and make a living. The latest examples of this are the addition of Premium Payouts and the UGC program which have had a huge impact on the Roblox Community.

Once a developer has 100,000 Robux or more on their account they can exchange it for money. The current exchange rate is 350 USD per 100,000 which is roughly 0.0035 USD per Robux.

How Much Money Do Roblox-Devs Earn?

The most popular game on Roblox is currently Adopt Me. Adopt Me has broken many Roblox records and drawn the attention of millions of players. Adopt me has been played more than 17 Billion times and at the time of writing this has 420,000 people playing it. Typically during new updates the player count hits anywhere from 1–1.6 million players. It is estimated that this game has made more than 11 Million USD.

Another very popular game that has quite a bit of players is Welcome to Bloxburg. This game, unlike others, is not free to play, players must pay 25 Robux (roughly 25 cents) in order to be able to play this game. Welcome to Bloxburg has been able to hold a steady concurrent player count of around 150,000 players. As of July 2019 this game has made roughly 8.3 Million USD. Likely far more now as thats how much it made so far over a year ago.

Now some of you might be asking. What if you don't have a game? Can you still earn Robux.

Yes.

Members of the UGC program have the ability to sell their own avatar items which players can purchase and wear in games all across the platform. As of now there are around 100 creators in this program. While they don't earn nearly as much as Front-Page game developers they do still make a lot. It is estimated that one creator, who has been in the program for a little over a year now, made a total of 274,000,000 Robux which is almost 1,000,000 USD

Now these are the stats for rather large creator. So let's go to smaller creators and games.

A game (that will be unnamed) with 20 concurrent players makes roughly 10,000 Robux a week. This might sound like a very small amount compared to other games and, well.. It is. Now you would not be able to live off of this. With that amount of Robux coming in every month you would made 350 USD every two and a half months. Majority of these small games are made as a hobby or side-income.

Is It Easy To Get Started

No.

It is definitely not easy to get started. I know people who have been on the platform for over 3 years now and aren't anywhere close to having 100,000 Robux on their account and haven't made a penny off of Roblox. However, don't let that prevent you from trying . With many large scale studios and brands joining the platform, the longer you wait the harder it will be to get out there. If you have a skill and you are a person that doesn't give up easily, You should definitely join the platform.

Once you have a solid skill and a good portfolio, you can easily hit 100,000 Robux and start making some money.
