Roblox is entering a market stemming from years of explosive growth, particularly from children stuck at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic which forced schools to close and sports leagues closed.

The Roblox company predicts rapid growth in 2021 though at a much slower clip than last year. In this case, the revenue is predicted to increase between 56% and 64% to between $1.44 billion and $1.52 billion.
