Summary

  • Roblox has announced the construction of a data centre in São Paulo, Brazil, which is scheduled to open in early 2026.
  • The centre will offer benefits such as improved frame rates, faster response times and reduced load times, and will support high-fidelity games.
  • It will also allow Roblox developers to create more competitive gameplay experiences, and will optimize performance on both high- and lower-end devices.
  • Brazil is Roblox’s second-biggest market, having grown by 181% over the past four years, and the firm sees the data centre as a way of further expanding its Brazilian user base.
  • The completion of the centre will be followed by the introduction of regional pricing, allowing developers to offer in-experience item prices that are more reflective of local economies.
