On Monday, Oppenheimer maintained a Perform rating on Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX), following the observation of mixed user engagement trends during the second weekend of “The Hunt,” an in-game event. The event, which includes new rewards and items for sale, began its second week on March 22.
Oppenheimer’s analysis focused on comparing week-to-week changes in hourly concurrent users (CCU) across the 12 largest Roblox experiences. Six of them participated in the “hunt”.
The results suggest that the event did not significantly increase overall user engagement. While some experiments showed an increase in UCC, others showed a significant decrease in the second weekend of the event.
Discussions with Roblox and UEFN developers at the Game Developers Conference provided additional information. These conversations highlighted implementation problems with “The Hunt” and identified opportunities for improvement for future events.

Progress, developer feedback and ideas can play a crucial role in improving the implementation of similar events to better meet the expectations of its user base.
