At Roblox Developers Conference, the company behind the game-creation platform laid out its plans for the future.

Social gaming platform Roblox is bigger than YouTube among kids - and it's paying out a lot of money to the next generation of video game developers.

Now Roblox has also showered attendees at its annual developer conference this past weekend with free Quest Pros.

Top Roblox creators are earning as much as $50,000 a month, as the user-generated-content platform continues to grow and evolve.

Roblox has launched a game to help raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes in partnership with nonprofit JDRF.

Developers from the U.S., Ireland, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Lithuania, and elsewhere have used Roblox to create and publish some of the most popular games in an online marketplace.

Roblox’s second-biggest expense, behind developer fees, is infrastructure, privacy and safety. Those costs jumped 69 percent last year to $264.2 million.
