  • Roblox cited it as part of "a number of important transitory actions" as it builds its next version.
  • In July, Roblox launched the LuoBuLesi app with Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC: TCEHY) affiliate. Roblox shut down on the app on December 8. 
  • The app now shows users a message thanking them for using the test version when they log on.
  • Roblox's platform is known for its virtual world technology, now popularly known as the "metaverse."
