Introducing Avatar Items on Profiles

Hi Creators,

Starting today, users can find your most recently published avatar items on your profile page. Items will be shown to users accessing Roblox on the mobile app. We will introduce items on computer and web in the coming weeks.

This module will display three of your latest avatar items, with an option to see all avatar items a creator has published. It will be automatically available to all avatar creators and Communities that have published at least one 3D avatar item.


This works for both individual user profiles, as well as Community profiles.

At this time, there is no way to edit or re-order the appearance of items in your profile, but we look forward to introducing more customization options in the coming months.

Thank you.

What do you mainly mean by that? Like, will we be able to resort those items by alphabetic order, creation date, or even price? That would be really nice to find the cheapest article without headache (like, pressing one button is always better than typing and pressing a button, right).

Anyway, nice update. Looking forward to see how this feature looks on my clothing group.

Like how you can re-order bagdes. I think it means you can’t changes the order at all (at moment)

Still a alright update. Good for getting your items out there for people to buy.

Respectfully, please stop adding these features without the option to disable them. This is a great feature, but some type of customization of the profile card is desperately needed to escape from that generic gray.

I’ve noticed some inconsistency in how you access this new feature depending on where you click from. For example, communities don’t appear in search, and the standalone Communities tab seems to just open an in-app webpage. Similarly, clicking the store button also opens a webpage, but viewing an item redirects to the app marketplace. The back-and-forth between views makes navigation feel a bit disjointed, and you can lose where you were on the page while shopping. It might be more intuitive if creators could be filtered directly within the in-app marketplace.

Additionally, clicking on non group creators on marketplace listings will open the in-app webpage, skipping over the profile stores as these updates do not typically come to the webpage.

Clicking on the mobile app home page “view profile” skips past this profile preview as well, going to the in app webpage

Otherwise I look forward to seeing this feature being fleshed out

I guess a toggle for this is nice, but I don’t see why anyone would want to disable it if is basically free advertising on your profile and you get more income.

But either way, it would be nice to see more profile options in general yeah. Especially a colored profile option would be awesome, you pick a color from like a palette and that would give profile some more personality.

For some reason, tapping a creator’s name on an accessory’s detail page in the app opens the web version of the profile page rather than the app native profile page. This means you can’t access a creator’s store when browsing in the mobile app (meaning this feature is only usable when navigating to a user’s profile via search). Would love to see this issue resolved so users can find more of my items!

This is a very awesome idea, however it’s executed very poorly.

This only shows items on mobile, not the browser version as well.
I would be glad to see this expand to the browser, so that ALL versions of Roblox show the creator’s recent creations.

We have ONLY 2d clothing shown up, and we definintely don’t need “models & packages” shown here anymore.
I beg you, use this space to show UGC Accessories as well.

They do stuff on the app before browser, maybe check there?

I’ve had the option on mobile for about a month now, so I know it works, but since there’s no mention of this expanding on the browser page, I just thought I’d mention they should do it.

Why would you want to disable free advertising?
If they’re going to add a button to disable every new feature, by now we would’ve had a novel.


I think this only shows for you, I can’t see anything on your profile but can see it in mine.

Oh wow, forgot about that. I wish they used that space for UGC Accessories though

Thank you for the feedback! Correct - this is only for users accessing on the mobile app. We plan to roll out for computer and web in the coming weeks. Updated the post to make that clear.

Love this idea! It would be great to know how to turn it off, though. Also, since everyone’s profile will essentially be advertising avatar items, will the user who made you interested in a specific Avatar item receive a share of the sale, just like you do when you sell something in your games?

Oh! Thanks for letting me know. I very much appreciate that and I think it’s going to be a very good update on profiles. Probably the biggest update we’ve had on the profile page so far! Would love to see many other changes in the future.

Are there plans to allow users to list community items as well, once the customizations features come out?
(Similar to how we’re allowed to list community experiences on profiles)

Awesome work team! I always look forward to your team posting! :partying_face:

I guess this is reasonably neat in terms of showcasing, but:

Important information like this should always be conveyed from the start (otherwise people could assume the feature is broken or induce negativity from a lack of clear Info), the marketplace is too restrictive with pricing (which could degrade sales from this feature to near-zero), and there are things that require more immediate attention than this

Thank goodness, profile needs more love. Was disappointed that everything I’ve uploaded that isn’t related to my game effectively had zero visibility anywhere.

Hmm that’s odd because this has been a feature for months already like my UGC showing up on my profile not even a new.
