What Happened: The firm is taking a step in democratizing IP licensing for game creators with the rollout of its new licensing platform, which includes the Roblox License Manager and Licenses catalog.

According to Benzinga Pro, Roblox stock has gained over 173% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Bitwise Web3 ETF BWEB.
The new tools allow rights holders to offer licenses directly to Roblox creators, enabling scalable, self-service integration of well-known IP into games and interactive experiences.
Historically, game licensing has been dominated by large studios due to the complexity and resources involved.
Roblox’s new License Manager streamlines this process by allowing IP owners to set customized license terms, scan for IP usage across games, and offer rights to creators more efficiently, potentially in a matter of hours instead of months.
The Licenses catalog functions as a marketplace, where creators can explore available IPs and request usage rights.
