Roblox marks a rise in revenue, more gen AI games, and a chase for over-18 users in third quarter earnings report

Roblox reported a 16% YoY revenue increase to $1.6B in Q3 2026, despite declines in daily active users (9%), average hours engaged (15%), and unique monthly payers (16%). The company attributes the dips to higher-than-average metrics from the previous year. AI tools are widely adopted, with over 50% more games using them compared to last year.
