Standout Games is a curated sort on Home that's dedicated to highlighting novel games on Roblox, handpicked by our curation team. Games that are novel often include unique and in-depth gameplay mechanics, distinctive visual styles, or are in an underrepresented genre on the platform.
Why apply?
Your standout creations are what makes Roblox special, and we are thrilled to feature more of them on Home, providing you with additional exposure on our platform.
What qualifies as a standout game?
Genre, gameplay, and visual style are common factors in a player's decision to try a new game. Entrance into Roblox Accelerator and Jumpstart hinge on innovation in these areas.
- Genres: RPG, strategy, and shooter games are heavily underrepresented despite strong demand from older age groups. We're seeking bold games in these core genres, plus unexpected genre mash-ups and projects that blend traditional mechanics with Roblox's avatars, social features, and cross-platform support.
- Gameplay: Deep gameplay mechanics, metagame systems, and skillful challenges keep players coming back to play again. We're looking for creators who seamlessly blend depth with Roblox's intuitive nature, massive multiplayer scale, and emergent social dynamics, specifically creators who can craft highly replayable, memorable games and moments players can't find anywhere else, even Roblox! Games that seem like a copy or reskin of a popular Roblox game are a hard sell.
- Visual style: We're looking for games that push aesthetic boundaries and make players think "Wait, that's Roblox?" We're looking for teams innovating with hyper-realistic 3D assets, stylized 2.5D sprites, high-fidelity avatars, or any other technique that brings their vision to life in ways that are entirely new to Roblox.
While not necessary for consideration, it's recommended that your game:
- Includes optimizations for both console and mobile devices.
- Supports R15 and layered clothing.
- Updates regularly and includes a roapmap.
- Uses experience events for future events and updates.
