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.

After almost six years, the official "Roblox" account has decided to change its avatar, marking a significant shift in its brand image.

Roblox is launching its own take on video chat called Roblox Connect. The feature, which is set to launch later this year, lets you chat with other people as your avatar.

A Roblox assignment on Glow Up was a natural fit, Winnie says, because Roblox users enjoy experimenting with their appearance through their avatars.

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

Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore ROBLOX — interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects.

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.
