However, it’s possible this change was implemented to allow Roblox to evade app store fees. The Apple App Store charges commissions and fees when software contains in-game purchases.

A 2023 report citing data from Roblox, Statista, and Finbold, stated that app store fees account for 23.3% of each dollar spent in Roblox.

Roblox now offers a 25% discount to users who purchase its in-game currency Robux directly from its website, avoiding Apple and Google App stores.
