ORLANDO, Fla. - Roblox has been around for almost two decades now. It’s a free gaming app you can download onto a phone, tablet, computer, or gaming console.

Roblox became extremely popular during the pandemic, and is now a multi-billion-dollar company with 112 million daily active users in the U.S. alone – 40 million of them, under the age of 13, according to the company’s own reports.
