Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Joint Venture	12. Joint Venture Background In February 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Songhua River Investment Limited (“Songhua”), an affiliate of Tencent Holdings Ltd., to create Roblox China Holding Corp. (in which the Company holds a 51% ownership interest as it relates to the voting shares). Songhua contributed $50 million in capital in exchange for a 49% ownership interest in Roblox China Holding Corp. The business of the joint venture (either directly or indirectly through the joint venture’s wholly owned subsidiaries) is to engage in the (i) development, localization, and licensing of the Roblox application to Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd. for operation and publication as a game in China, and (ii) development, localization, and licensing to creators of a Chinese version of the Roblox Studio and to oversee relations with local Chinese creators. The joint venture is consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company maintains a controlling financial interest through voting rights, while the minority member of the joint venture does not have substantive participating rights or veto rights. The Company classifies the 49% ownership interest held by Songhua as a noncontrolling interest on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Joint Venture Financing On May 10, 2023, Roblox China Holding Corp. (the “Borrower”) issued $30 million aggregate principal debt which would have matured on May 10, 2026 (the “JV Notes”). In the first quarter of 2026, the Borrower extended the maturity date of the JV Notes by two years to May 10, 2028. The JV Notes were funded by the Company and Songhua (collectively, the “Lenders”) in the amounts of $15 million each. The JV Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, with accrued interest payable on the final maturity date. At any point, the Lenders may voluntarily convert the JV Notes into voting shares of the Borrower, provided that immediately after such conversion, the Lenders continue to own the same percentage of voting shares in the Borrower as they did immediately prior to the conversion. The conversion ratio will be determined at the time of such conversion (if any), and will be determined by dividing the then fair value of the Borrower’s voting shares (as mutually agreed to by the Lenders and Borrower) into the sum of the unpaid principal and accrued interest. The portion of the JV Notes outstanding to Songhua is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as long-term debt, net as of June 30, 2026 and within accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2025, at its principal amount, while the portion outstanding to the Company – including any related interest expense – is eliminated upon consolidation. Interest expense related to the JV Notes was not material for any of the periods presented.
