Roblox launches Moments, a clip feed on its homepage
Contents
Roblox has launched Moments, a new feed on the app’s homepage that shows gameplay clips from other players and lets you join a game with a single tap. It is part of a wider homepage redesign that also added Chat and Me tabs, while a separate mobile game-creation tool called Build began alpha testing in New Zealand.
What Moments is and how it works
Moments is a content-discovery feed: it shows gameplay clips shared by friends and selected content creators. Every post in the feed works as a “doorway into the game” — a Join button sits under each clip, dropping the player straight into the same match or session they just watched, without a separate search through the game catalog.
The idea echoes short video feeds on social networks, but with a practical twist: instead of just watching content, the viewer can immediately become part of that same game. According to Roblox, this is a new way to discover games — through what friends are playing right now, rather than through search or charts.
When and where the feature went live
Roblox began rolling out the rotation of new tabs — Chat, Me, and Moments — on July 28, 2026. Players in three countries got the update first:
| Country | What they got |
|---|---|
| Canada | Chat, Me, Moments |
| New Zealand | Chat, Me, Moments + Build alpha |
| Singapore | Chat, Me, Moments |
Roblox says the global rollout to other countries will happen gradually over the coming months, without giving exact dates for other regions.
The platform this is launching on is not small: according to Roblox, an average of 132 million people show up daily to play one of the millions of available games.
Age limits and safety
Because Moments surfaces user-generated content (UGC), access to it is age-gated. Only players with a verified age of 16 or older can view the clips. Younger users do not see an empty feed — instead they get a restricted version of the app, either Roblox Kids or Select mode depending on age, with a smaller pool of available content.
That lines up with how Roblox’s experience age-rating system works in general — and parents may want to double-check their settings in parental controls if a child uses the app, since a new feed built from other players’ videos is exactly the kind of content those controls are meant to filter.
Moments as part of a wider redesign
Moments is not the only new thing in the July update. The same day saw the rotation of the Chat tab (for talking without leaving a game) and the Me tab (profile and avatar), while New Zealand separately got the alpha of Build, a mobile tool that turns text descriptions into simple games right inside the app. Together these changes form one homepage redesign — Roblox is clearly betting on the app becoming more than a game catalog, turning it into a place where you can see what friends are playing right now.
What we are not claiming
- We do not know the exact dates when Moments will reach countries beyond Canada, New Zealand, and Singapore — Roblox only says “the coming months.”
- We are not claiming the recommendation algorithm behind Moments differs from what the Roblox homepage already showed — the company described the concept, not the technical details of how clips get picked.
- We are not naming an exact number of content creators whose videos appear in the feed — Roblox only refers to “select” creators.
