As you can see here, on 3 completely different browsers and accounts I have the same games listed as being recommended

Expected Behavior

I have completely personalized games listed as being recommended to me, as on the homepage.

Actual Behavior

The same games are listed for everybody, no matter the account age, browser, location, anything.

Issue Area: Roblox Website

this has been an issue for a LONG time.

I believe this was intentional as this started happening over a year ago. Nothing we can do, roblox only wants to promote the games which make them money

same goes for Most Engaging, i think after a certain amount of time the search page regenerates the games

I see different results on my homepage though, so it’s extremely weird that the front page has a set list.

they changed the algorithm from all the games on roblox, to all the popular games. So it’ll kinda be a “for you” page. Except only promoting the top games. Which is why the results are different. As it’ll only choose from around 50-75 of the top games.

nothing we can do, this is intentional. Roblox did this to promote games which were already popular, roblox gets no benefit from promoting new upcoming games, only the top ones.

Hi thanks for the report and sorry for the late response. I tested this issue on 3 different accounts and seems like the games are different on all 3. Is the issue still there for you?

Check the Games page, not your homepage.

Why has it been called ‘Recommended for YOU’ if it’s not personalized?
