Roblox has published its financial report for the second quarter of the fiscal year, stating Q2 2025 results “exceeded previous top line and cash flow expectations, fueled by broad-based strength across the platform and the emergence of viral hits.”
It also noted “significant growth across key metrics,” including Daily Activer Useres (DAUs), Hours Engaged, Monthly Unique Payers, revenue, and bookings, which Roblox says “clearly demonstrate the health and expanding reach of [its] platform.”
The megacorp reports revenue jumped 21% across the period YoY, with bookings also up 51%. It has also seen a boost to its monthly unique payers (MUP) — up 42% YoY, with the average bookings per MUP $20.48 — and average daily active users also ticked up by 41% compared with the same period last year.
“Our Q2 2025 results demonstrate broad-based strength across the Roblox platform, fueled by the emergence of several viral experiences. Our year-on-year growth this quarter is a reflection of our strategic investments in infrastructure and performance, discovery, and the virtual economy, which continue to create fertile conditions for creators to thrive as part of a healthy, interconnected ecosystem,” said David Baszucki, founder and CEO of Roblox.
“We are encouraged by the momentum across Roblox as we look to capture 10% of the global gaming content market flowing through our platform.”
