Discovery on Roblox: Past, Present, and Future Vision

Yeah no kidding.

I think it had way more traffic in the past not only because of the famous former ability to filter categories manually, but prior to the launch of the desktop app, the “Roblox Player” desktop shortcut took users to the discover (former “games”) page instead of the home page. I believe this was also the case even after guest mode was removed.

Not to mention the home page hardly had to do with discovery back in 2016-17. It was more of a place for “checking in” and seeing what’s going on with friends, the community, and the platform. It had the discontinued “My Feed” and status features (which included group shouts), blog links, and then the continue playing, favorites, and friends sorts and then one sort for game recommendations.
