Create and manage scheduled game events for a universe — announce content
updates, drops, and live moments, and let players discover and RSVP to them.

Common use cases include:

- **Create an event**: Publish a game event for a universe with a title, schedule, visibility, categories, and thumbnails
- **List and read events**: Page through a universe's game events or fetch a single event, using an optional `fields` mask to trim the payload
- **Update or cancel**: Patch event details or delete a game event


Request body for `POST /v3/universes/{universeId}/game-events`.
`universeId` comes from the URL path, not the body.
VirtualEventsApi.Models.V3.Request.CreateGameEventRequest.Visibility is restricted to Public/Private — Moderated is server-side only.
Nullable CLR properties allow JSON binding to materialize incomplete requests; required
fields are enforced by the virtual-events gRPC service when `CreateVirtualEvent` runs.

Event end time. Clients must provide a timestamp such as
`yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffzzz` or `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ`, and it must be after
VirtualEventsApi.Models.V3.Request.CreateGameEventRequest.StartTime.

Optional featuring status flag. When omitted, defaults to "not featured".

Group host. When omitted, the authenticated user is the host.

Optional venue place ID. When omitted, the event is created in the universe root place.

Event start time. Clients must provide a timestamp such as
`yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffzzz` or `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ`.

Event subtitle. Clients must provide a non-empty value.

Optional tagline. Length and content are validated server-side.

Event title. Clients must provide a non-empty value.

Must be `Public` or `Private`; `Moderated` is server-managed and rejected.

The event category type of an event.

Representation of some media associated with an event.

Representation of the category associated with an event.

v3 game event response. All fields except VirtualEventsApi.Models.V3.Response.GameEventResponse.Id are gated by the `?fields=` mask.

Whether all requested thumbnails were successfully persisted. Returned on Create/Update.

Localized description. Populated only when `displayDescription` is in the mask.

Localized subtitle. Populated only when `displaySubtitle` is in the mask.

Localized title (caller's locale). Populated only when `displayTitle` is in the mask.

Host block. VirtualEventsApi.Models.V3.Response.HostResponse.HostName and VirtualEventsApi.Models.V3.Response.HostResponse.HasVerifiedBadge are omitted when host-details resolution failed.

The unique id of the game event. Always populated. Serialized as a string to
preserve precision for clients (event IDs exceed 2^53).

Tagline for featuring review; visible to curators only when featuring is opted into.

Authenticated caller's RSVP status. Omitted for unauthenticated callers.

Paginated response for v3 LIST. Page tokens are null at the collection boundaries.

Request body for `PATCH /v3/game-events/{eventId}`.
Every field is optional; null = "no change". An empty body is a no-op and returns the current resource.

Must be `Public` or `Private`; other values are rejected. Null = no change.

A configurable key that allows granular access to Roblox resources. See https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud/auth/api-keys for more information.

x-api-key

A browser cookie that represents the identity of a Roblox user. DO NOT SHARE THIS. Sharing this will allow someone to log in as you and to steal your Robux and items. We do not recommend using cookies to call endpoints. When possible, use API keys with the x-api-key header or OAuth 2.0 instead for authentication.

.ROBLOSECURITY

Build or authorize apps to access Roblox resources. See https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud/auth/oauth2-overview for more information.

The Roblox API. See https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud/open-cloud for more details.

Roblox API

eventId

Caller can read the event but lacks delete permission.

Event does not exist or caller cannot see it.

The backend rejected the delete after the permission pre-check passed.

Permanently delete an existing game event. Returns 204 No Content on success.
Permission is enforced via an explicit pre-check: callers that can read but not edit
receive 403; callers that cannot read receive 404.

universe.event:write

Optional field mask (comma-separated; omit or use * for all fields).

fields

Malformed `?fields=` or invalid event ID.

Get a single game event by ID.
Use `?fields=` to request a subset of fields; unknown field names return 400.

universe.event:read

Partial update payload. Omitted or null fields are treated as no change.

Caller can read but lacks edit permission.

Partially update a game event. Only fields present in the request body are changed; omitted or null fields are left
unchanged. Empty body is a no-op and returns the current game event resource.

Universe that owns the events (from path).

universeId

pageSize

Continuation token from a prior page's `nextPageToken`.

pageToken

When true, treats `pageToken` as a backward-pagination cursor.

reverse

startsBefore

startsAfter

endsBefore

Lower bound on event end time. Defaults to now when neither bound is set.

endsAfter

visibility

Field mask (comma-separated; omit or `*` for all fields).

Invalid `?fields=`, out-of-range `pageSize`, or bad query parameter.

List game events under a universe.
Use `?fields=` to trim the response payload.
Response is always 200 (empty list for unknown universe).

Universe that will own the new event (from path).

Validation failure or server-side reject (moderation, age requirement, ...).

Caller lacks permission or quota is exhausted.

Create a new game event. Returns the full resource on success.

This method is asynchronous and returns an `Operation`, which represents the current state of the operation. It contains an endpoint path that you can poll to obtain the real response and applicable metadata. See the [documentation]({longRunningOperationsLink}) on long-running operations for more information.
            
The following sections describe the response and metadata objects that are provided when an operation completes.

Beta endpoints are ready for public use. Breaking changes are possible but rare.

These Open Cloud documentation pages will be removed on March 31, 2026. You will be automatically redirected to the new Open Cloud documentation at that time. {linkStart}Learn more{linkEnd}

Experimental endpoints are ready for public use, but may experience breaking changes occasionally as the API contract is finalized.

This endpoint can be called in-experience through {httpServiceLinkStart}HttpService{httpServiceLinkEnd} with an API key.

This field may be set when creating a resource, but may not be modified by subsequent requests.

These fields may be set when creating a resource, but may not be modified by subsequent requests.

This field may be provided in requests, but will never be included in responses.

Legacy authentication method. Always prefer using API Key or OAuth 2.0 when available.

Per API Key: {maxInPeriod} requests every {periodInSeconds} seconds per IP Address

Requires no authentication to call. Typically has significantly lowered rate limits. Always prefer using API Key or OAuth 2.0 when available.

For each grouping, only one of the following fields in the schema has to be provided, the remaining can be excluded.

You can opt back in at any time. {linkStart}Provide feedback.{linkEnd}

This field may be set on responses, but will be ignored in requests.

Note: Rate limits can be lower during high-traffic periods. Certain endpoints have additional rate limits. [Learn more about rate limits]({link}).

{limit} requests per day across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per hour across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per minute across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per second across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per minute per API key owner

{limit} request(s) per second per API key owner

Scopes control what permissions your credentials have. Your credentials can only access the endpoints supported by the scopes you selected.

Stable endpoints are production-ready and will almost never experience breaking changes during their lifetime.

This target enables you to limit your key's access to selected {requiredParts}

This target enables you to limit your key's access to selected {requiredParts} and {optionalParts}

Target types are used to restrict the resources that your credentials have permissions on. Only the selected resources can be acted on even if your account has permissions on additional resources. Some scopes do not have target parts. In these cases, all of your relevant resources can be acted on.

The universe Top Level Part does not need to be selected for user-owned API Keys. In this case, your API Key will have access to all of your user-owned experiences and group-owned experiences that you have the right group permissions on.

Try It Out is not yet supported for endpoints requiring API key or OAuth 2.0 authentication

Cookie authentication is disabled for high risk operations for safety.

Critical risk endpoints are extremely sensitive and Try It Out is disabled for safety
