About

Roblox China, the joint venture between Roblox and Tencent known as LuoBu, laid off 15 employees in October 2023. This affected a small number of staff in both its U.S. and Shenzhen headquarters. The company, which has an estimated headcount between 100 and 499 employees, stated the layoffs resulted from an evaluation of its operational structure following the platform's service halt nearly two years prior. This move reflects the unique challenges and scaled-back operations of the venture in China's gaming market, as the broader Roblox corporation shifts focus from expansion to financial sustainability.
