Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Description of Business Roblox Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in March 2004. The Company operates a human co-experience platform, or the Platform, or Roblox Platform, where users interact with each other to explore and develop immersive, user generated, 3D experiences. Upon signing up for Roblox, a user personalizes their unique Roblox identity, or avatar. Users are then free to immerse themselves in experiences on Roblox and can acquire experience-specific enhancements or avatar items in the Company’s Avatar Marketplace using the virtual currency, or Robux. Any user can be a developer or creator on the Company’s platform using Roblox’s studio of software tools. Developers build the experiences that are published on Roblox and can earn Robux through micro transactions in their experiences, through engagement-based payouts, and by selling virtual items in the Roblox virtual economy.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. For example, references to fiscal year 2022 and 2021 refer to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. In the Company’s opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interest of minority investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest. Segments The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, which is at the consolidated entity level. The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, of the Company is its Chief Executive Officer, or the CEO, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information of the Company’s revenue. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the estimated period of time the virtual items are available to the user and the estimated amount of consumable and durable virtual items purchased for which the Company lacks specific information that the Company uses for revenue recognition, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of acquired goodwill and intangible assets, accrued liabilities (including accrued developer exchange fees), contingent liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, evaluation of recoverability of long-lived assets and carrying value of goodwill. Management believes that the estimates, and judgments upon which they rely, are reasonable based upon information available to them at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected. Although there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic for global and regional economies, its overall impact is gradually declining. As of the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event of circumstance related to COVID-19 that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or adjust the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods. Change in Accounting Estimate In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed its quarterly assessment of paying user life estimate, which is used for revenue recognition of durable virtual items and calculated based on historical monthly retention data for each paying user cohort to project future participation on the Roblox Platform. Based on this assessment, the Company updated its paying user life estimate to 28 months in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the previous estimate of 25 months, which was updated from 23 months in the first quarter of 2022. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of June 30, 2022, the change resulted in a decrease in revenue of $111.0 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $25.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. In 2021, the Company’s paying user life estimate was 23 months. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of December 31, 2021, the changes in estimates discussed above resulted in a decrease in revenue of $329.7 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $76.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. It is estimated that these changes in estimates will decrease our fiscal 2022 revenue and cost of revenue by $344.9 million and $79.3 million, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s deposits are financially credit worthy and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to those balances. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal interest rate risk. The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to various customers, performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customers’ accounts when deemed necessary. The Company has not experienced any material credit losses to date. The Company uses various distribution channels to collect payments from users. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, two distribution channels accounted for 57% and 54% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively. One of the distribution channels accounted for 27% and 19% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The second distribution channel accounted for 30% and 35% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. One distribution channel processed 31% and 32% of the Company’s overall revenue transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 35% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. A second distribution channel processed 18% and 19% of the Company’s overall revenue transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 19% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with further clarifications made more recently regarding the treatment of accrued interest, transfers between classifications for loans and debt securities, recoveries and the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) for eligible financial assets at amortized costs. The new standard requires that an entity measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. The Company adopted the guidance during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not result in any cumulative effect adjustment on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption as of January 1, 2021. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Topic 842, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset, or ROU asset, and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or financing in the income statement. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical lease classification, assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to January 1, 2021. The Company also elected to combine its lease and non-lease components and not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining lease term and assessing impairment of ROU assets. See Note 5, “Leases” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “ Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ,” which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard requires capitalized costs to be amortized on a straight-line basis generally over the term of the arrangement, and the financial statement presentation for these capitalized costs would be the same as that of the fees related to the hosting arrangements. This new guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, the effective date and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU 2019-12. The purpose of ASU 2019-12 is to reduce complexity in the accounting standards for income taxes by removing certain exceptions as well as clarifying certain allocations. This update removed the exception to the incremental approach for intra period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operation and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). This update also addresses the split recognition of franchise taxes that are partially based on income between income-based tax and non-income-based tax. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company is in the process of reviewing all issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such accounting pronouncements will cause a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements	Sep. 30, 2022
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist of Level 1 assets. Level 1 assets include highly liquid money market funds that are included in cash and cash equivalents and the fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there are no outstanding preferred stock warrants. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during any of the periods presented below. A summary of assets, related to our financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is set forth below (in thousands): Fair Value As of Financial Instrument Fair Value September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Financial Assets: Money Market funds classified as cash equivalents Level 1 $ 1,845,626 $ 2,853,055 Financial Liabilities The Company’s financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of its 2030 Notes. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The estimated fair value of the 2030 Notes was approximately $815.8 million and $1,016.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. While the 2030 Notes are recorded at cost, the fair values of the 2030 Notes were determined based on the trading price of $81.58 and $101.62 of the 2030 Notes on the last trading day of the reporting periods ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the 2030 Notes are categorized as a Level 2 measurement as they are not actively traded. The Company measures goodwill and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are identifiable events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse impact on the fair value of these assets.

Acquisitions	Acquisitions Hamul, Inc. Acquisition On April 1, 2022, or the Hamul Acquisition Date, the Company acquired all outstanding equity interests of Hamul, Inc., or Hamul, a privately-held company, that provides a platform for connecting gaming communities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The Hamul Acquisition Date fair value of the consideration transferred was $19.3 million, which consisted of $9.2 million paid in cash and 385,093 shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $4.0 million. The aggregate purchase consideration for Hamul was comprised of the following (in thousands): Fair Value Cash paid $ 9,185 Common stock issued 4,009 Replacement awards attributable to pre-acquisition service 6,129 Total purchase price $ 19,323 The acquisition-related costs were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a stock-based consideration revesting agreement with the Hamul founders. The portion of the fair value of the common stock associated with pre-acquisition service of the Hamul founders represented a component of the total purchase consideration, as presented above. The remaining fair value of $7.6 million of these issued shares was excluded from the purchase price. These shares, which are subject to the recipients’ continued service with the Company, will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of 3 years. The total purchase consideration of the Hamul acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Management determined the preliminary fair values based on a number of factors. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce and anticipated synergies arising from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Hamul Acquisition Date (in thousands): April 1, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,020 Goodwill 12,382 Identified intangible assets 4,500 Deferred tax liabilities (579) Total purchase price $ 19,323 The following table presents details of the identifiable assets acquired at the Hamul Acquisition Date (in thousands): Carrying Estimated Useful Life (Years) Developed Technology $ 4,500 5 Total $ 4,500 The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable, pending finalization of income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Lease Commitments —The Company leases office facilities and space for data center operations under operating leases expiring in various years through 2035. Certain of these arrangements have free or escalating rent payment provisions and optional renewal clauses. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. See Note 5, “Leases” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Letters of Credit — The Company has issued letters of credit in connection with our operating leases. The Company has not drawn down from the letters of credit and had $9.9 million available in aggregate as of each of the periods ended September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Legal Proceedings —The Company is and, from time to time may in the future become, involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. On March 9, 2022, an alleged shareholder filed a putative securities class action against the Company and certain of our executives and directors, alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in connection with the registration statement for the Company’s direct listing. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, and is captioned Matlick v. Roblox Corporation, et al. , No. 22-CIV-01038. The complaint sought damages and attorneys’ fees, as well as other relief. The Company filed a motion objecting to the choice of forum, noting that the proper venue for this matter is Federal Court. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the case on June 10, 2022 based on the venue selection provision in the company’s bylaws. The parties stipulated to a dismissal of the Superior Court case, and the matter was dismissed on August 2, 2022, but the Company anticipates that the shareholder will refile this action in Federal Court. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend any potential litigation vigorously. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has accrued for immaterial losses related to those litigation matters that the Company believes to be probable and for which an amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company considered the progress of these cases, the opinions and views of its legal counsel and outside advisors, its experience and settlements in similar cases, and other factors in arriving at the conclusion that a potential loss was probable. The Company cannot determine a reasonable estimate of the maximum possible loss or range of loss for these matters given that they are at various stages of the litigation process and each case is subject to the inherent uncertainties of litigation. The Company may incur substantial legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these legal proceedings. Although the maximum amount of liability that may ultimately result from any of these matters cannot be predicted with absolute certainty and the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our operations. Indemnification —In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third-party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. To date, the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022. The Company also currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance. Other Contractual Commitments —Other contractual commitments primarily consist of contracts associated with data center and IT operations in the ordinary course of business. There has been no material change in the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments during the three months ended September 30, 2022, other than non-cancelable purchase commitments primarily related to data center and IT operations in the ordinary course of business and the Company’s new office lease in San Mateo, California since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 5, “Leases” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the new office lease.

Convertible Preferred Stock [Abstract]
Convertible Preferred Stock	Convertible Preferred StockIn January 2021, the Company issued 11,888,886 shares of Series H convertible preferred stock to certain institutional accredited investors in a private placement at a purchase price of $45.00 per share for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $534.3 million. There was no underwriter or placement agent used in connection with this sale. The Company previously issued Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series D-1, Series E, Series F, and Series G prior to 2021. In November 2020, pursuant to a conversion notice and an exchange agreement with entities affiliated with the Company’s Founder, President, CEO and Chair of the Company’s board of directors, all outstanding convertible preferred stock held by those entities were converted into our Class A common stock and thereafter all 57.3 million outstanding shares of Class A common stock held by those entities were exchanged for 57.3 million shares of Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Immediately prior to the completion of the direct listing of the Company’s Class A common stock, or the Direct Listing on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock converted into an aggregate of 349,123,976 shares of Class A common stock.

Stock-based Compensation	Sep. 30, 2022
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation 2004 Incentive Stock Plan In 2004, the Company approved the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, or the 2004 Plan, under which the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options to employees and nonstatutory stock options to employees, members of the Board of Directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the 2004 Plan, incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may be granted at a price not less than fair value and 85% of the fair value, respectively (110% of fair value for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of voting stock). Fair value is determined by the Board of Directors. Options are exercisable over periods not to exceed 10 years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of the voting stock) from the date of grant. The 2004 Plan was terminated on the effective date of the 2017 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, and accordingly, no shares are available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan continues to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder. 2017 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan In 2017, the Company approved the 2017 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2017 Plan, under which the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options to employees and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or RSAs, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, to employees, members of the Board of Directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the 2017 Plan, incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may be granted at a price not less than fair value (110% of fair value for options issued to holders of 10% or more of voting stock). Stock appreciation rights may be granted at a price not less than fair value. Fair value is determined by the Board of Directors. Options are exercisable over periods not to exceed 10 years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of the voting stock) from the date of grant. In connection with the Direct Listing, the 2017 Plan was terminated effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, and accordingly, no shares are available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan continues to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan In 2020, the Company approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan, which became effective on the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s Direct Listing. Under the 2020 Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options to employees and stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or RSAs, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance units and performance shares to employees, members of the Board of Directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the 2020 Plan, incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, and stock appreciation rights may be granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair value for incentive stock options issued to holders of 10% or more of voting stock). Options and stock appreciation rights are exercisable over a period not to exceed 10 years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of the voting stock) from the date of grant. At inception, 60.0 million shares of Class A common stock were reserved for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. Stock-based awards under the 2020 Plan that expire or are forfeited, cancelled, or repurchased generally are returned to the pool of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan provides for annual automatic increases in the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved thereunder. In addition, subject to the adjustment provisions of the 2020 Plan, the shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan also includes (i) any shares that, as of the day immediately prior to the effective date of the registration statement, have been reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards granted under the 2017 Plan and are not subject to any awards thereunder and (ii) any shares subject to stock options, RSUs or similar awards granted under our 2017 Plan and 2004 Plan that, on or after the effective date of the registration statement, expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised or issued in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2020 ESPP, which became effective in connection with the Direct Listing. The 2020 ESPP authorizes the issuance of shares of Class A common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. At inception, a total of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were reserved for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP. In addition, the plan provides for annual automatic increases in the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The 2020 ESPP plan is a compensatory plan and includes two components: a component that allows the Company to make offerings intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and a component that allows the Company to make offerings not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. Subject to any limitations contained therein, the 2020 ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise to the extent permitted by the administrator) an amount established by the administrator from time to time in its discretion to purchase Class A common stock at a discounted price per share. The price at which Class A common stock is purchased under the 2020 ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the enrollment date or exercise date, whichever is lower. Offering periods are generally 24 months long and begin on the first trading day on or after February 25 and August 25 of each year with each offering period having four purchase periods of approximately six months each. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations data above was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Infrastructure and trust & safety $ 14,948 $ 8,597 $ 39,959 $ 22,082 Research and development 111,450 56,423 279,978 139,643 General and administrative 28,327 20,963 82,096 51,139 Sales and marketing 6,634 3,336 18,009 8,858 Total stock-based compensation $ 161,359 $ 89,319 $ 420,042 $ 221,722 Stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards granted to non-employees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was not material. Options As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $103.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested options, which will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 1.9 years. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity (in thousands, except per share data and remaining contractual term): Options Outstanding Number of Weighted- Remaining Aggregate Balances as of December 31, 2021 63,267 $ 2.82 6.97 $ 6,348,395 Granted — — Cancelled (1,679) $ 4.01 Exercised (8,176) $ 2.41 Balances as of September 30, 2022 53,412 $ 2.84 6.24 $ 1,762,455 Vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2022 38,496 $ 2.29 5.79 $ 1,291,511 Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2022 53,412 $ 2.84 6.24 $ 1,762,455 No options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $13.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unregistered RSAs, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 2.0 years. See Note 7, “Acquisitions” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The RSUs granted prior to our Direct Listing vest upon the satisfaction of both the service condition and a liquidity event-related performance vesting condition which was satisfied on the Effective Date. In the first quarter of 2021, we recorded cumulative stock-based compensation expense of $21.3 million related to all then-outstanding RSUs for which the service-based vesting condition has been satisfied. Stock-based compensation related to the remaining service-based period after the liquidity event-related performance vesting condition was satisfied will be recorded over the remaining requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method. The RSUs granted subsequent to our Direct Listing only have a service based vesting condition, which historically has been satisfied generally over four years. For grants made in and following July 2022, the service based vesting condition is satisfied generally over three years. CEO Long-Term Performance Award In February 2021, the leadership development and compensation committee granted the CEO a Long-Term Performance Award, an RSU award under our 2017 Plan to Mr. Baszucki, which would provide him the opportunity to earn a maximum number of 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. The CEO Long-Term Performance Award vests upon the satisfaction of a service condition and achievement of certain stock price goals, as described below. The CEO Long-Term Performance Award is eligible to vest based on the Company’s stock price performance over performance periods with the first beginning two years after the Effective Date and ending on the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date. In addition, and as described in greater detail below, Mr. Baszucki must remain employed as our CEO through the date a Company Stock Price Hurdle is achieved in order to earn the RSUs that relate to an applicable Company Stock Price Hurdle. The CEO Long-Term Performance Award is divided into seven tranches that are eligible to vest based on the achievement of stock price goals, each a Company Stock Price Hurdle, measured based on an average of our stock price over a consecutive 90-day trading period applicable to the performance period as set forth below. Company Stock Number of RSUs Performance 1 $ 165.00 750,000 2 years 2 $ 200.00 750,000 3 years 3 $ 235.00 2,000,000 4 years 4 $ 270.00 2,000,000 5 years 5 $ 305.00 2,000,000 5 years 6 $ 340.00 2,000,000 5 years 7 $ 375.00 2,000,000 5 years If the Company Stock Price Hurdle fails to reach $165.00 prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, no portion of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award will vest. Further, any RSUs associated with a Company Stock Price Hurdle not achieved by the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date will terminate and be cancelled for no additional consideration to Mr. Baszucki. Mr. Baszucki must remain employed by us as our CEO from the Effective Date through the date a Company Stock Price Hurdle is achieved to earn the RSUs associated with an applicable Company Stock Price Hurdle. The Company Stock Price Hurdles and Number of RSUs Eligible to Vest will be adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, or similar events under the 2017 Plan. Each vested RSU under the CEO Long-Term Performance Award will be settled in a share of our Class A common stock on the next company quarterly settlement date occurring on or after the date on which the RSU vests, regardless of whether Mr. Baszucki remains the CEO as of such date. Company quarterly settlement dates for this purpose are February 20, May 20, August 20, and November 20. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award using a model based on multiple stock price outcomes developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates into the valuation the possibility that the Company Stock Price Hurdles may not be satisfied. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award was estimated to be $20.19 per share, and the Company estimates that it will recognize total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $232.2 million over the derived service period of each of the seven separate tranches which is between 3.45 – 5.38 years. If the Company Stock Price Hurdles are met sooner than the derived service period, the stock-based compensation expense will be adjusted to reflect the cumulative expense associated with the vested award. The stock-based compensation expense will be recognized if service as the Company’s CEO is provided by Mr. Baszucki over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the Company Stock Price Hurdles are achieved. The Company recorded $12.3 million and $36.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO Long-term Performance Award during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $12.3 million and $29.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO Long-term Performance Award was $153.6 million which will be recognized over the remaining derived service period of the respective tranche. Employee Stock Purchase Plan During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the purchase date, February 25, 2022, was lower than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the offering date of the first and second offering periods. As a result, the first and second offering periods were reset and the new lower price became the new offering price. Additionally, the plan also provides for a rollover feature that provides for an offering period to be rolled over to a new lower-priced offering if the offering price of the new offering period is less than that of the current offering period, accordingly, the first and second offering periods first and second rolled over to a new 24 months offering period. The reset was treated as a modification resulting in incremental charges totaling $4.7 million, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the purchase date, August 25, 2022, was lower than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the offering date. As a result, the offering period in effect was reset and the new lower price became the new offering price. Additionally, as discussed above, because the plan also provides for a rollover feature that provides for an offering period to be rolled over to a new lower-priced offering if the offering price of the new offering period is less than that of the current offering period, the offering rolled over to a new 24 months offering period. The reset was treated as a modification resulting in incremental charges totaling $5.1 million, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period. The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of 2020 ESPP for the offering period in effect using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Risk-free interest rate 3.25 % - 3.35% Expected volatility 62.8 % - 81.51% Dividend yield —% Expected terms (in years) 0.51 - 2.01 The Company recorded $6.8 million and $17.8 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2020 ESPP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3.1 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Performance Stock Units During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards, or the 2022 PSU Grants, to certain members of management. The target number of 2022 PSU Grants was 207,284. The number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares, based on the Company’s stock price performance and achievement of certain stock price hurdles during the last quarter of the second year through the end of the third year of a 3-year performance period, or the 2022 PSU Grant Stock Price Hurdles, and subject to continuous employment through such date. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of the 2022 PSU Grants using a model based on multiple stock price paths developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation which incorporates into the valuation the possibility that the 2022 PSU Grant Stock Price Hurdles may not be satisfied. The grant date fair value of the 2022 PSU Grants was estimated to be $43.13 per share, and the Company estimates that it will recognize total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $8.9 million using the accelerated method of expense attribution over the derived service period of each tranche which is equal to the measurement time of each of five measurement periods commencing with the last quarter of the second year and ending with the last quarter of the third year. If the 2022 PSU Grant Stock Price Hurdles are met sooner than the derived service period, the stock-based compensation expense will be adjusted to reflect the cumulative expense associated with the vested award. The stock-based compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period if the members of management continue to provide service to the Company, regardless of whether the 2022 PSU Grant Stock Price Hurdles are achieved.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements and ASC 810 “Consolidation,” the joint venture is consolidated with the Company because the Company maintains control through voting rights and the minority member of the joint venture does not have substantive participating rights, or veto rights. As a result, it was determined that the Company has control sufficient to consolidate the operations of the joint venture. The Company classifies the 49% ownership interest held by Songhua as noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The Company does not provide for U.S. federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are to be reinvested indefinitely. The provision/(benefit) from income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of state and foreign income taxes. The provision/(benefit) from income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of state and foreign income taxes, offset by a release of valuation allowance due to an acquisition. The provision/(benefit) from income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted of the benefit of a release of valuation allowance due to an acquisition.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsOn October 7, 2022, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Byfron Technologies, LLC, a privately held company providing security and anti-cheat software for game publishers. The acquisition closed on October 11, 2022 and the total purchase price was approximately $19.0 million, payable in cash. Due to the timing of the close of the transaction, as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, acquisition accounting is incomplete as the Company is still in the process of estimating the initial purchase price allocation. As a result, the Company is unable to provide this information, which will be reported on its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Basis of Presentation and Sum_2

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. For example, references to fiscal year 2022 and 2021 refer to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. In the Company’s opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interest of minority investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest.
Segments	Segments The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, which is at the consolidated entity level. The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, of the Company is its Chief Executive Officer, or the CEO, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information of the Company’s revenue.
Use of Estimates and Change in Accounting Estimate	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the estimated period of time the virtual items are available to the user and the estimated amount of consumable and durable virtual items purchased for which the Company lacks specific information that the Company uses for revenue recognition, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of acquired goodwill and intangible assets, accrued liabilities (including accrued developer exchange fees), contingent liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, evaluation of recoverability of long-lived assets and carrying value of goodwill. Management believes that the estimates, and judgments upon which they rely, are reasonable based upon information available to them at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected. Although there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic for global and regional economies, its overall impact is gradually declining. As of the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event of circumstance related to COVID-19 that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or adjust the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods. Change in Accounting Estimate In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed its quarterly assessment of paying user life estimate, which is used for revenue recognition of durable virtual items and calculated based on historical monthly retention data for each paying user cohort to project future participation on the Roblox Platform. Based on this assessment, the Company updated its paying user life estimate to 28 months in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the previous estimate of 25 months, which was updated from 23 months in the first quarter of 2022. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of June 30, 2022, the change resulted in a decrease in revenue of $111.0 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $25.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. In 2021, the Company’s paying user life estimate was 23 months. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of December 31, 2021, the changes in estimates discussed above resulted in a decrease in revenue of $329.7 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $76.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. It is estimated that these changes in estimates will decrease our fiscal 2022 revenue and cost of revenue by $344.9 million and $79.3 million, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers	Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s deposits are financially credit worthy and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to those balances. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal interest rate risk. The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to various customers, performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customers’ accounts when deemed necessary. The Company has not experienced any material credit losses to date. The Company uses various distribution channels to collect payments from users. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, two distribution channels accounted for 57% and 54% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively. One of the distribution channels accounted for 27% and 19% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The second distribution channel accounted for 30% and 35% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. One distribution channel processed 31% and 32% of the Company’s overall revenue transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 35% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. A second distribution channel processed 18% and 19% of the Company’s overall revenue transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 19% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with further clarifications made more recently regarding the treatment of accrued interest, transfers between classifications for loans and debt securities, recoveries and the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) for eligible financial assets at amortized costs. The new standard requires that an entity measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. The Company adopted the guidance during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not result in any cumulative effect adjustment on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption as of January 1, 2021. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Topic 842, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset, or ROU asset, and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or financing in the income statement. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical lease classification, assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to January 1, 2021. The Company also elected to combine its lease and non-lease components and not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining lease term and assessing impairment of ROU assets. See Note 5, “Leases” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “ Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ,” which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard requires capitalized costs to be amortized on a straight-line basis generally over the term of the arrangement, and the financial statement presentation for these capitalized costs would be the same as that of the fees related to the hosting arrangements. This new guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, the effective date and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU 2019-12. The purpose of ASU 2019-12 is to reduce complexity in the accounting standards for income taxes by removing certain exceptions as well as clarifying certain allocations. This update removed the exception to the incremental approach for intra period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operation and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). This update also addresses the split recognition of franchise taxes that are partially based on income between income-based tax and non-income-based tax. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company is in the process of reviewing all issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such accounting pronouncements will cause a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
