Introducing Improved Genres and New Subgenres

Will there be a horror genre? I am working on a game and I think it would be good if I could set the genre to horror.

Roblox thought process next: "Oh well too bad, Bedsharky, its “objectively” better for discovery(hiding even more games and putting 5 genres on one tiny list) There is something wrong with YOUR game Bedsharky. And we ,roblox staff ,don’t hear or care about your complaints and WON’T be adding the removed chart lists back, Have a good day

Sincerely, Roblox Staff(probably)

IM sorry but its now end of October, We have had a dramatic fall off in CCU, and Revenue does Roblox have any remedy for this. We have bills and staff members to pay that require the money lost. This was very unprofessional to be auto enrolled without the option to opt out. @bballerblox is there any updates on this? and will Roblox be providing any sort of loss revenue make up procedures? IE better server visibility if we can prove a greater impact.

in the Goal disagreements it states “the goal was to stabilize without the cause of negative performance issues” , But we have all been stating in this forum the negative player and revenue effects. We would all love a response on this,

Thanks.

+1, would love an update on this.
Our game went from 2600 CCU to ~100. This crazy falloff started right after our game got set to the wrong category. As a fighting game, we have no way of competing with simulators (in time played and retention), and recommending the game to people who play simulators just completely kills our stats.

Has this been pushed back, or am I missing something?

The end of October has passed, and it’s currently November. Any update on this? My game, and many others above me, desperately needs to get their game rated in its proper category for reach.

Could you clarify whether this refers to October 2024 or October 2025?

This is a very good update! but i feel like there should be more genres, along with being able to pick at least three to represent your experience very well.

THIS IS TOTAL BALONEY!

YOU PROMISE A TIME FRAME OF LATE OCTOBER. NO UPDATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY ROBLOX AS TO WHY THE DEADLINE IS PASSED AND NO UPDATE ON WHEN THIS IS GOING TO BE FIXED AS PROMISED!

IT IS NOT OK TO NOT TELL YOUR USERS WHY YOUR DEADLINE HAS PASSED.

IT IS NOT OK TO ASSIGN WRONG GENRES AND NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND NOT ALLOW DEV TO FIX IT THEMSELF.

REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH ROBLOX! WE CAN DO BETTER!!!

This urgently needs to be addressed - our recent game has been doing extremely well since launch - players absolutely loving the game and all KPIs really good, multiple stats in the 95th percentile or above. Average session time is <15min - we’re at 20min+. We were growing nearly every day, having peaked at 12.5K concurrent users last Saturday. We are now down to barely 3K concurrent users - and continuing to lose users alarmingly fast.

Then on Sunday, we were put into an UNKNOWN genre as it still displays “N/A” with no other information, and the 10th percentile of session time went from 13 minutes to 29 minutes (???) How is anyone possibly able to compete with that? I have never heard of any game, ever, having such session time, especially not a tycoon. This is insane and has killed our game almost entirely within 3 days.

Lol, roblox went full evil with this one. This should be nearly illegal. Telling everyone the update that affects 100s of peoples income comes out 50% completed, with 0 responses, tons of bugs and drops tons of CCU with 0 response.

Can we all get a little bit of info on this


just Who was this team? Do we have any way to contact them ? and what training did they go through to choose these Genres our games landed in? I’m very curious the Win ration of the selections and how many experiences were used for this testing! Im interested in the big data on this to validate if the winners of this selection are actually performing well vs us that are reporting doing so awful, thanks for any updates!

Hey @everyone in here I have just reached out to the Dev Relations Staff on this and I think you should all as well , Link below:
https://devforum.roblox.com/g/DevEngagementTeam

They also have a list of Staff members to assist us with these types of issues, I’m certain if we are loud enough on this we can get results within a respectable time, cheers mate!

Wow! My game had the same issue! It went from 1,500,000 roblox recc impressions for 3 consistent months to now 31! I’m not even joking, and I’m trying everything I can to change it! :rofl:

I cannot seem to edit my game’s genre, why is that?

same here. It’s starting to kill some games, roblox seems to randomly change the audience pushed without changing the genre visible for me (resulting in couple statistics dropping and a pretty big drop in DAU) while the genre stays on N/A
