Roblox creators can now make their own Stranger Things and Twilight games

Roblox is launching a new licensing platform that will make it easier for companies to offer their intellectual property (IP) to creators so they can build approved experiences. The platform includes a license manager that “equips rights holders with new self-serve IP management tools” and a licenses catalog that creators can browse and use to apply for “licensed use of IP,” according to a newsroom post from Roblox CPO Manuel Bronstein.

The platform is initially launching with four partners: Lionsgate, Netflix, Sega, and Kodansha. Seven IPs will be available for “licensed use‬ by eligible creators,” including Squid Game, Stranger Things, Twilight, Saw, and Like a Dragon. “Two more will follow in the coming weeks, with‬ additional IPs being added later this year,” according to Bronstein.

Initially, “full-experience adaptations” will be the “first form of‬ agreement” that Roblox is offering, but “we’re exploring additional license types and offering more ways‬ to bring IP to Roblox for all types of creators,” Bronstein says.
