Dev tracker
What Roblox’s own staff announce on the official Developer Forum — never a creator’s post.
27 announcements
From Roblox’s official Developer Forum, where its staff post in English.
Only the forum’s three official categories under Updates are read — Announcements, News & Alerts, Release Notes — and a topic is kept only when Roblox posted it: a member of its staff or the Roblox account. Creators’ posts and single experiences’ news are left out, as are the categories’ “About” topics. Each post is shown by its first words; the whole text is on the forum. The list is refreshed every two hours.
