Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies Lease Commitments—The Company leases office facilities and space for data center operations under operating leases expiring in various years through 2037 for leases that have commenced and 2041 for leases that have not yet commenced. 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. There has been no material change in the Company’s lease commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2026, except for lease commitments primarily related to office facilities and data centers in the ordinary course of business. Purchase Obligations—Non-cancellable contractual purchase obligations primarily consist of contracts associated with data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors. In June 2026, the Company executed agreements to purchase a total of $845 million of hosting services over three annual periods beginning July 1, 2026, with annual commitments ranging from $248 million to $296 million. There have been no other material changes in the Company’s purchase obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026, other than non-cancellable purchase commitments made in the ordinary course of business, primarily related to data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors. Letters of Credit—The Company has letters of credit in connection with its operating leases which are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s letters of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Legal Proceedings—The Company is and may in the future become involved in various legal matters, including investigations, proceedings, claims, litigation, and other legal matters, such as those described below. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in all such matters. The Company has and may continue to incur substantial legal fees, which are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company accrued for losses related to matters that the Company believes to be probable and for which an amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, certain of which are described in more detail below. The Company considered the progress of these matters, the opinions and views of its legal counsel and outside advisors, its experience and settlements in similar matters, and other factors in arriving at the conclusion that a potential loss was probable. For all other legal matters, the Company cannot determine a reasonable estimate of the maximum possible loss or range of loss given the inherent uncertainty based on the facts and circumstances of such matters at this time. The maximum amount of liability that may ultimately result 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 the Company’s operations. On August 1, 2023, a putative class action was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Colvin v. Roblox (the “Colvin matter”), asserting various claims arising from allegations that minors used third-party virtual casinos to gamble Robux. On December 15, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and on March 26, 2024, the motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part, allowing plaintiffs’ negligence and California Unfair Competition Law claims to proceed. On March 28, 2024, a supplemental order clarified that plaintiffs’ claims for unjust enrichment and equitable relief could proceed as well. On April 9, 2024, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint re-alleging the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act and New York General Business Law claims that had been dismissed. Separately, on March 14, 2024, Gentry v. Roblox (the “Gentry matter”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California premised on substantially identical allegations as the Colvin matter. On April 18, 2024, the Gentry matter was consolidated with the Colvin matter. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on April 23, 2024. The consolidated complaint sought monetary damages, including actual, punitive, and statutory damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on May 14, 2024, which the court granted in part and denied in part on September 19, 2024. The court dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ fraud-based claims and claims for injunctive relief, but allowed plaintiffs’ claims under California’s Unfair Competition Law and for negligence and unjust enrichment to proceed. On October 30, 2024, the Company filed an answer denying plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2024, the Company filed an Amended Answer, again denying plaintiffs’ claims, and adding cross-claims against virtual casino defendants for intellectual property infringement, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, breach of contract, tortious interference, and indemnification, among others. One of the cross-defendants, Based Plate Studios, LLC moved to dismiss the Company’s claims. On April 16, 2025, the court granted in part and denied in part Based Plate Studios’ motion to dismiss, allowing the Company’s claims against Based Plate Studios for trademark infringement, violation of California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, tortious interference with contract, breach of contract, and indemnification to proceed. On June 2, 2025, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding new defendants and more detailed allegations regarding existing plaintiffs. The Company filed a motion to dismiss portions of the Second Amended Complaint on June 23, 2025. That motion was granted, and certain claims were dismissed as a result. Other claims remain pending and discovery is ongoing. In recent periods, there has been increased regulatory and litigation focus on areas that impact the Company’s business, including the protection of minors online, privacy, consumer protection, and digital safety overall. As a result, the Company has become subject to regulatory investigations and/or legal proceedings from both regulators and individuals relating to, among other things, claims arising from allegations that the Company has facilitated gambling by users of the Platform, including by minors, that the Platform is unsafe, that the Company has misrepresented the safety of the Platform, that the Company has failed to warn of or misrepresented the risk of encountering bad actors on the Platform, that the Company provides inadequate safety controls on the Platform, that the Platform is addictive, that the terms of use are not enforceable against minors and that the Company unlawfully or unfairly benefits from child labor. Various state attorneys general have filed claims, announced the intent to file claims, or commenced investigations against the Company based on various state laws and causes of action primarily relating to youth-related consumer protection and digital safety matters. As of July 30, 2026, states that have filed suit include Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Los Angeles County, California has filed a suit as well. Each action is unique to the applicable state laws. These legal proceedings are still in the early stages of litigation. However, in State of Texas v. Roblox Corporation, the Travis County District Court granted in part and denied in part on March 6, 2026 the Company’s motion to dismiss a complaint filed by the State of Texas on November 6, 2025. The complaint asserts claims for violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and Texas’ common nuisance law, alleges that the Company failed to adequately protect children on the Platform, and seeks civil penalties, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The court dismissed Texas’ common nuisance claim but allowed the Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim to proceed. Similarly, in State of Iowa v. Roblox Corp., the Polk County District Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss on May 13, 2026. The complaint asserts a claim under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act. The court’s order dismissed certain factual allegations as non-actionable. The Company anticipates filing or has filed motions to dismiss that are currently pending in the remainder of these cases. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, arising from any of the above-referenced matters. In addition, the Company has entered into settlement agreements with certain states, including Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, South Dakota, and West Virginia as of July 30, 2026, and is in negotiations with certain other states regarding similar youth-related consumer protection and digital safety matters. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company accrued $34 million and $91 million of expense, respectively, within general and administrative expense associated with both settlement agreements and settlement discussions that actually occurred, including developments through the date of this filing. The amounts accrued relate to cash payments owed to the states with no future obligating events. Certain elements of the settlements and/or settlement proposals have not been accrued as of June 30, 2026. These include commitments for public service campaigns, headcount for law enforcement liaisons, costs associated with implementing certain Platform and policy changes, and/or liquidated damages if certain settlement terms are deemed to be breached in the future. Such commitments will be expensed as incurred or in the case of liquidated damages, will be expensed only if a breach is considered probable to occur. Outside of the amounts accrued, the Company currently is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, arising from unasserted claims with other jurisdictions given the inherent uncertainty around future settlement discussions, including, but not limited to, structure and amount of settlement terms and the timing of any future Company commitments, as well as the diversity of state laws. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any settlement proposals will be accepted by any of the state attorney general counterparties with whom the Company is currently in negotiations or may engage with in the future. Indemnification—In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions of varying scope and terms with other parties, including vendors and business partners. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, and certain other employees. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless, and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. 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 related to these indemnification provisions.
