Online game platform Roblox will soon allow you to sell your entire avatar, made possible due to an upcoming Roblox Marketplace Update, as per a report by Pocket Tactics. Presently, Roblox players and creators can only sell individual items like clothes and accessories on the Roblox Marketplace. That is reportedly going to change with a new Roblox Marketplace Update.
With the April 2024 Marketplace Update, Roblox made it easier for creators to create and sell 3D models. It brought a new AI-based Avatar Auto Setup tool to quickly convert 3D models into avatars so that people wouldn't have to wait. The AI in the Avatar Auto Setup tool sped up the avatar-creation process and reduced the avatar-building time from days to minutes.
Roblox also brought templates using which creators and brands could build customisable shopping experiences “dedicated to the buying and selling of avatar items”. One example of this is the fashion-based Dress to Impress space where Roblox users can dress up and compete in themed contests. They can showcase their fashion sense, earn stars and climb the leaderboards to become a “Top Model”.
According to the report, visits to the Dress to Impress space reached one billion in July 2024, and have since grown to more than two billion.
The Robox Marketplace change in April made creating stuff easier on the game platform. But to reap in the freedom of being a creator, you should follow the Roblox Marketplace terms and conditions and be a Roblox Premium member.
The report quotes Enrico D’Angelo, Roblox’s vice president of economy, who says that "selling avatars and items as a bundle is much more convenient for people, as they’ll be able to shop for full looks all at once rather than piecemeal. We recently launched a new way to search for avatar bundles and have already seen a positive uptick in people shopping for full looks rather than individual accessories.”
For creators and brands on Roblox, the new Marketplace Update is expected to provide more ways to showcase their creativity, connect with others and earn more through the Roblox ecosystem.
