The newly announced Roblox avatar updates aim to inject both more customization and more realism into the blocky Lego-like looks that are synonymous with the platform now.

Roblox is allowing UGC program members to create and sell avatar bodies and heads, giving users more options to express their identity.

Roblox is bringing avatars old and new together under one banner, but it’s totally possible to keep the blocky, classic style with an R15 avatar.

The Roblox team discusses how the additions point to where Roblox is starting to flex across platforms, into VR, and eventually maybe AR too.

Speaking to Newsweek in an exclusive interview, the Vice President of Product for the Roblox Corporation has weighed in on the Rthro vs Blocky avatar debate.
