Roblox Plus Seen Driving Higher Spend -- Market Talk

Dow Jones00:21

1221 ET - Roblox's new Plus subscription tier, which is replacing Roblox Premium for new sign-ups, is likely to drive more transactions and create more recurring revenue than Premium did, Wedbush analysts write in a note. The main difference between the tiers is that while Premium gave its subscribers a monthly stipend of Robux, Plus instead offers discounts on in-game purchases, marketplace access, and fee-free transfers, as well as free unlimited private servers. "The private server inclusion is underappreciated, as it lowers the barrier to user-selected, small-group social play, which tends to drive longer sessions and higher spend," the analysts write.
