VR for Roblox: How to Play and Create VR Games in Roblox

The platform gives young people a way to bring their ideas to life by providing game development tools that anybody can learn. While the games are all free to play, many of them use an online currency called Robux to unlock different in-game items. Once a developer makes enough Robux, they can convert them into real money, meaning that users can make real money with this platform. Young people in particular are flocking to Roblox to hone their skills and create new games.
