Recently, Roblox has been a big hit with teenagers rather than its younger target audience with the most popular games being “Dress to Impress” and “Mimic”. With thousands of people playing, streaming, or watching others play these games, there is no doubt that if people are in search of something to bond over with a loved one, this is it.
Years ago, Roblox was considered to be a kids game, or just overall boring. Recently, however, developers have been making more complex games for teens to play.
Roblox has been a staple of many people’s childhood, from playing obbies to surviving natural disasters in fun-filled games.
Throughout the years, the game went from being popular to just a once-in-a-while play, but the influx of teens taking over the site seems to be driving kids away from it, especially with a 17+ section being added. Many of the games that cater to teens follow a certain theme, either being horror, survival, or dress-up.
One of the main reasons Roblox seems to be blowing up again is because of influencers showing off the app. From streamers like CaseOh to YouTubers like Flamingo, they are a huge influence on what teens are playing now.
Unlike most games, the app is free and easy to access allowing almost anyone to have a place in it. Large friend groups or just duos can play with one another making the games even more exciting; everything is better with friends. It also allows people to meet others with the same interests as them allowing teens who may not have many friends in school to make some online.
Roblox’s influence on teens has not always been good with some people trolling others in the past, but recently it has been a more positive platform. It has become a place where teens worldwide can connect with each other.
