At RDC 2024, Roblox revealed exciting updates about the platform, including upcoming features. The new “Party” feature is designed to enhance group gaming experiences, making it easier for players to enjoy games together. Additionally, Roblox is rebranding its groups to “Communities” to improve how developers interact with players. Here’s everything we know about the new Party and Community features coming to Roblox.
Roblox Connects Players with New Party Feature
Roblox has always focused on bringing people together on the platform, and while there have been ongoing improvements, RDC 2024 introduced a couple of exciting new features. The first is the Party feature, which allows friends aged 9 and up to join the same experience together.
With this feature, players can use text or voice chat even outside of Roblox experiences. Next year, Roblox will release an API to help developers integrate the Party feature into their games. This will enable friends to form parties, start at the same point in a game, and even join private lobbies together.
Roblox Rebrands Groups to Communities
In addition to the Party feature, Roblox is enhancing developer-player communication with a rebranding of Roblox Groups. At RDC 2024, it was announced that Roblox Groups will now be known as Communities.
This change aims to help developers of large communities, such as those behind Blox Fruits or Dress to Impress, manage their fanbases more effectively. The new Communities will include tools like Forums, where players can discuss various topics, share gameplay experiences, and interact within their game-specific communities.
Alongside the Party and Community features revealed at RDC 2024, Roblox introduced two new platform-wide features: ‘What’s Playing’ and ‘Music Charts.’ These features are designed to highlight popular and trending music and artists, offering opportunities for artists to reach a broader audience and grow their fan base. They also make it easier for creators and players to enjoy their favorite songs by using Roblox music codes.
