Hi Everyone!
We’ve got an exciting roundup of launches for you this week 
BUT FIRST 
—
Save the date for RDC 2025! The Roblox Developers Conference will take place in San Jose on September 5-6, 2025, and the Roblox Innovation Awards will be on the 6th 
And in other fun news, we also launched experience chat on Xbox and PlayStation (woo!!), new analytics for avatar items, our Real-Time Translation API, and more! 
Remember - we keep information at a high level within these recaps. For more information or to leave feedback, please comment on their official announcements linked below.
Announcements
PathfindingUseImprovedSearch Is Now Restored

Experience Chat for Console Now Available with TextChatService
- Experience chat is now rolling out on Xbox and PlayStation!
- Console users can now seamlessly communicate with other users on mobile, web, desktop, and VR directly within your experience.
Schedule When Your Avatar Items Go On and Off Sale
- You can now schedule when your avatar items go on sale and off sale!
Improved Avatar Item Analytics
- The analytics page for avatar items will now include the following item-level metrics for all your avatar creations:
- Demographic information of buyers, including age, gender, location, and platform
- Sales location breakdown, between Marketplace and experiences
New features coming to Avatar Auto-Setup
-
We released a new round of updates to Auto-Setup consisting of the following:
-
Partial Input includes Dynamic Head: Users can provide a R15 rigged face and body to auto-setup, and it will reuse the rigs and produce only the missing constructs (cage, partition, attachments).
-
Studio Edit Tools: The generated attachment points can be edited in Studio. Users can visualize the result of their edits in the Auto-Setup preview window.
-
Team Create Support: The ownership of the generated assets is now set to the owner of the placefile being used instead of the user running Auto-Setup. If the placefile is owned by a group then the generated assets will belong to the group as well.
[Coming Soon] Improved Layered Clothing Fit
- Today we’re excited to preview some upcoming changes to the Layered Clothing fitting algorithm.
- These changes will address 3 classes of fit defects (detailed below) and together we believe they will greatly improve the visual quality of avatars wearing Layered Clothing.
- We intend to roll these changes out to all users by the end of the month (~3/31).
Introducing the Real-Time Translation API
- We’re excited to announce the launch of our real-time translation API! This will enable you to generate automatic translations for text in your experience without using the standard translation workflow.
Updates

- We are testing Party voice chat with a small audience of eligible 18+ phone verified users in select countries.
- We plan to make Party voice chat broadly available to all 13+ users later this year.
Exact match searches in Creator Store

Introducing UnreliableRemoteEvents
