Hi Creators,
We are excited to announce that, beginning June 28, we are testing a new sort called Today’s Picks on Marketplace. Like its counterpart on Home, Today’s Picks on Marketplace is a curated sort with items selected each day by a team of in-house editors.
We plan to test this sort with a subset of users across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. This test will consist of different versions of this sort - in different positions and with various themes, item types, and even outfits - to learn and improve it before opening it up to more users.
Today’s Picks on Marketplace will give us more ways to feature the work and creativity you bring to Roblox. We want to make Marketplace the most engaging destination for avatar shopping on Roblox. As part of this, we strive to connect every user with the avatar items that help them bring their unique self to the platform. Using the combined efforts of our team of Roblox editors and our Marketplace recommendation system, we will be highlighting editorialized content across many categories, including what’s new and notable, as well as what’s seasonally or culturally relevant.
Please note: Creators in Today’s Picks must follow our Community Standards and Marketplace policies and be in good standing to be selected.
How do I request my items to be featured?
If you wish to nominate your items to be featured for Today’s Picks on Marketplace, please complete this survey. Today’s Picks on Marketplace will be updated daily, and creators can be featured more than once. However, at this time, each item can only be submitted one at a time and we ask creators to limit themselves to 10 to help us manage the volume.

Thank you!

How is Roblox selecting items to be featured in Today’s Picks on Marketplace? Are any creators and creations eligible?
- The daily selections for the featured items will be chosen by a group of in-house editors from across the organization. The content highlighted will cover various categories, including new and notable items as well as those that are seasonally or culturally relevant. We are prioritizing content priced above the item’s respective price floor as well as 3D layered clothing and accessories. To be featured, creators and their items must abide by our Community Standards and Marketplace policies to be featured.
Can I submit outfits on the form? What about storefronts or groups?
- At this time, we can only accept submissions for individual items. Creators can submit items as an individual or as a group.
How many items can a creator submit?
- While we do not have a hard limit on how many creations you can submit, we ask that all creators limit themselves to 10 items at this time to help us manage the volume.
Where will “Today’s Picks” be shown?
- It will be shown on Marketplace across our iOS, Android, PC, and Mac app.
Will all users see the same content or is it tailored?
- At the start, we will be testing with a subset of users before expanding more broadly. During the test, all users will see the same items each day, and those items can be featured more than once. We hope to offer greater personalization with additional cohorts and regions in the coming months.
This feature could significantly boost the visibility of deserving items, promote diversity items in the catalog and enhance the overall shopping experience. Love it :).
