Roblox just made a major move that’s going to change how millions of players and creators interact with the platform. The gaming giant has officially announced **Roblox Plus** — a brand-new subscription plan launching globally on **April 30, 2026** — alongside a suite of powerful **AI-driven development tools** that could reshape how games are built on the platform entirely. Here’s the complete breakdown.

## What Is Roblox Plus?

Priced at **$4.99 per month**, Roblox Plus is designed to reward the platform’s most engaged users while simultaneously creating new revenue streams for creators. Crucially, when subscribers receive discounts, **Roblox itself covers the cost** — meaning creators don’t lose a single Robux in the process.

Enrico D’Angelo, Vice President of Economy at Roblox, summed it up: the goal is to give users more value from their Robux while directly supporting the creators building the ecosystem.

## Roblox Plus Features at a Glance

| Feature | Details |
| --- | --- |
| **Discount on Purchases** | 10% off in-game items and avatars; rises to 20% after 3 consecutive months |
| **Private Servers** | Unlimited free private servers for age-appropriate games |
| **Robux Transfers** | Fee-free Robux transfers to other users (parental approval for under-18s; age verification for 19+) |
| **Marketplace Access** | Trade, resell, and list avatar items and creations on the Roblox Marketplace |
| **Exclusive Badge** | A Roblox Plus profile badge, with more perks rolling out post-launch |
| **Monthly Robux Top-Up** | Upcoming bundled payment option for subscription + recurring Robux |

## What Happens to Roblox Premium?

With Roblox Plus arriving, **no new subscriptions to Roblox Premium will be accepted**. Existing Premium members will keep their memberships and receive a one-month Roblox Plus trial added to their current period. However, from **May 30**, some Premium perks — including the 10% bonus on Robux purchases and the Premium profile badge — will be discontinued.

## The AI Revolution: New Agentic Development Tools

Perhaps even more exciting than the subscription plan is what Roblox is doing for **game creators** through new [AI-powered development tools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence_in_video_games). These agentic features turn a simple text prompt into a full development pipeline:

**Planning Mode** breaks down a creator’s concept into editable, individual steps — refining details through feedback before building begins. **Procedural Model Generation** means that when you modify an AI-generated object like a bookshelf, the AI intelligently adjusts the structure rather than just stretching it — adding shelves and books proportionally. And **AI Playtesting Agents** deploy avatar bots to test games like real players, identifying bugs and issues before launch.

Together, these tools aim to let solo creators and small teams build ambitious games faster than ever before, with a collaborative AI partner doing the heavy lifting at every stage.

## Creator Revenue: How Roblox Plus Supports Builders

Creators stand to gain significantly from this update. When subscribers use discounts on in-game items, Roblox covers the difference — preserving creators’ existing revenue. Creators who integrate Roblox Plus sign-ups directly within their games through a new API also earn **bonus Robux for each new subscriber** acquired for up to three months.
