Hello,
I wanted to know if Roblox themselves already copyright (or whatever) my work as soon as I upload it or if I need to manually do that.
I don’t expect my game to be a hit, but I don’t want some greedy people to abuse my ideas/work for their own good. I’m aware that copyright can be bypassed via parodies and documentations, but like the case of where they make plushies and some kind of merch or other products they are intending on selling.

This is not legal advice, you can review the Roblox terms of service for the specifics at https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004647846-Roblox-Terms-of-Use , specifically Section 2 - Intellectual Property.
When you upload content to the Roblox you maintain your IP ownership of the UGC, however you grant Roblox a license to operate the service.
