We plan to expand and add features to increase value for players and to create more earning opportunities for creators.
1. Earn more from Plus subscribers’ purchases
With Roblox Plus, players get 10% off Robux purchases of in-game items (passes and developer products), avatar items, developer subscriptions in Robux and more.This increases to a 20% discount in the third consecutive month onward as a subscriber, rewarding continued membership. This discount is provided by Roblox while creators continue to earn their share.
-
Roblox discounts: Plus members receive a 10%–20% discount on purchases. These discounts are provided by Roblox, meaning your effective revenue share actually increases.
-
Higher conversion: Lower prices for players can lead to more frequent purchases of developer products, passes, avatar items and more. To drive more conversions by displaying the accurate discounted price for a Plus subscriber, move away from hard-coding your prices and get accurate pricing through the GetProductInfoAsync API.
2. Get bonuses for driving Plus sign-ups
Creators will be rewarded for every player who becomes a Plus subscriber within their game via the PromptRobloxSubscriptionPurchase API. You’ll earn a bonus of 250 Robux per month for the subscriber’s first three consecutive months—up to 750 Robux per newly acquired Plus subscriber.
3. Monetize a Plus subscriber’s time in a paid private server(s)
Roblox Plus members receive free access to paid private servers. Since Plus subscribers get them for free, we still want to give creators a way to earn by rewarding our creators when Plus subscribers spend meaningful time in paid private servers.
On each successful Plus subscription renewal, Roblox looks back at the previous 30 days to evaluate paid private server usage for that subscriber. Roblox will pay creators when these subscribers spend 60+ cumulative minutes over a 30 day period in a game’s paid private servers (up to 100 Robux per subscriber). Today, most players spending time in paid private servers hit this 60 minute per month threshold and are expected to qualify for payout.
-
A Plus subscriber must spend 60 or more minutes in a paid private server over the course of 30 days for that server to qualify.
-
For each Plus subscriber, Roblox considers the top 5 paid private servers where that user spent the most qualifying time over 30 days.
-
If a paid private server qualifies, Roblox will pay the creator based on the server price, up to a maximum of 100 Robux per subscriber per server.
Illustration: Player subscribing to Plus from the private server page.
Example
Paid private server A, B and C qualify because a subscriber spent 60 or more cumulative minutes in each paid private server during the month. Paid private servers D and E do not qualify because the user spent fewer than 60 cumulative minutes in those paid private servers over 30 days.
The creator(s) would earn a total of 205 Robux. More specifically:
