Hey developers,
We’re always looking for fun and rewarding ways to show how much we value your dedication to the platform and celebrate your successes. Now, we’re pleased to present a new program that aims to do just that: Developer Awards! This is a program driven by data and designed to reward developers for reaching exciting, meritorious milestones per game.
There are three different types of Developer Awards. We’re still finalizing details on the other two categories, so we’re introducing the program in phases, starting with Phase 1: Swag Bags!
The swag bag itself is a stylish Roblox-branded backpack full of goodies*, of course! The bag is awarded to developers who achieve 40M+ lifetime Robux!
*Contents of the swag bag are still in production and mockups shown are not final.
We can’t wait to show you what else we have in store for the Developer Awards!
