The Roblox stock was initially listed at an estimated $45 and jumped to $65 within seconds of going live to the public. At its peak, the company's stock hit an impressive $74.55, but trickled back down to a $69.50 closing price with a 54% gain (via Barrons ). The Roblox stock had plenty of competition thanks to GameStop's incredibly chaotic stock battle . GameStop almost hit $350 today but got hit hard, flying down to $180 at its lowest, but quickly came back up to a closing price of $265. The GameStop stock closed above its previous close of $246.90, but its gains weren't nearly as impressive given the strong decl
For the uninitiated, Roblox is less of a traditional game and more of a creation tool along similar lines as products like RPG Maker , Little Big Planet , and the recently released Super Mario Maker 2 . Using Roblox Studio , players can create, modify, and sell their own unique games, experiences, and items, with the current number of such totaling upwards of 69 million games from over 2 million different developers. Many of the games created in Roblox have gone on to become quite popular, including Jailbreak and Welcome to Bloxburg, and Robloxrealm.Com most are geared toward child

Still, it does have a very loyal fanbase, one which will surely be thrilled at an event like this. It's heartening to see a prominent author like Ernest Cline recognize the video game community like this, especially seeing how much video game culture is represented in his books. Roblox fans should get their book preorders in now; this event is not to be mis
As GameStop attempts to rally following big changes potentially coming to the company, it could prove to be a challenge for Roblox. As attention is split between two high-interest stocks, it could directly impact both of them from hitting the strides they need to really succeed. Roblox reportedly previously delayed its stock after DoorDash and AirBnB went live in 2020 out of fear of getting overshadowed and while GameStop is more volatile, it's still distracting potential investors who are throwing lots of cash aro
Roblox will be hosting an in-game treasure hunt to celebrate the release of Ready Player Two , the sequel to Ernest Cline's sci-fi adventure novel Ready Player One . The first book was published in 2011, and it received a big-budget film adaptation in 2018, directed by none other than Steven Spielberg. The film got generally positive reviews from most critics, and is broadly considered to be a fun easter egg hunt for fans keen on spotting hidden pop culture referen
This game is just as straightforward as the name suggests. The player is responsible for running a restaurant that cooks burgers. Much like Overcooked or similar games, the real-world stress of operating a restaurant is present. But there are no earthquakes or separating cars in this one as the worst you will come across is a slend
After hours, notable investors like Cathie Wood bought in, which raised the price to $70.30 in the after-hours market. Whether or not the stock will rocket up throughout the week or stay steady remains to be seen. There continues to be a lot of hype around it and with investors like Wood investing, it bodes well for the Roblox stock. There's also the chance that there are Roblox employees holding stock that will sell off once it hits a higher price, if they haven't alre
Now Roblox is featuring a brand new tie-in event to coincide with Ernest Cline's new book, Ready Player Two . The Roblox website anticipates that this will be the biggest book tour event in publishing history, a bold claim inspired by a similar event the website hosted to celebrate the release of the Ready Player One film adaptation in 2018. That event drew in a whopping 13 million, and Roblox anticipates that this event will be even bigger. It will take the form of an online treasure hunt, similar to the ones undertaken by the main characters in the books themselves. The event kicks off on December 1st with a live Q&A between Ernest Cline himself and Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki. Keen Roblox fans will want to tune into this event, as it will feature hints that will help them navigate the treasure hunt. Apparently more hints can be found inside Ready Player Two itself, so players are encouraged to read the book in preparation when it launches on November 24th. Players who complete this quest successfully will earn free digital goods themed after the ev
