The removal of genres back in 2017 was one of my biggest social pain points, because the current categories on the Experiences page were not descriptive of the actual gameplay. Also discovery was easier back then; people itching for a fight could just sort for War games, or search Town and City to visit our roleplay neighborhood. We had daily visitors even without running advertisements, simply via the genre filters. So thanks for bringing this back! It’s been a LONG time coming…

Finally, all though the reasoning for not having horror as a genre makes no sense to me. Also, on the topic of genres, will we ever get a reason as to why the genre sort was removed or are you just going to continue ignoring it?
I don’t see genre selection for my experiences in the Creator Dashboard. Is this still being rolled out?
Roblox needs to pay more attention to the use of tags, they have a lot of potential.
For those wondering how the games api changed (https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=0), new genre_l1 and genre_l2 fields got added, and the legacy genre is still there. The new fields are an empty string if the game did not set the genre with the new system
Though, question to whoever, is there a way to get the current list of available genres, as it was mentioned the list of genres and subgenres will change over time
It would be useful for my game Game Discovery Hub, although I can easily do without

Hi! I love the new feature that organizes games by genre it’s a great improvement! However, I’ve noticed some games are still misplaced in the wrong categories, which should be resolved. Also, popular genres like strategy and survival are too far down the charts, making them harder to find. Relocating them higher based on player interest would enhance visibility and reflect their popularity. Thanks for all the effort so far these tweaks could make it even better!
For instance, the music genre is ranked in the top 8, despite its smaller audience. While promoting it is great, genres like strategy, which encourage smarter, more engaging experiences, deserve higher visibility. Prioritizing genres with broader appeal could better reflect the interests of Roblox’s community.

Please do add “Difficulty Chart” as a subgenre to Obby, and let us search by genre.

Try to see if you can look at other games like yours and select a genre based on that.
