Roblox Reports Strong Q2 2025 Results and Upbeat Outlook for the Rest of the Year
Roblox, the popular online gaming platform, has reported impressive financial results for Q2 2025, with a 21% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter last year. The company's revenue for Q2 2025 stood at $1.08 billion, marking a significant leap from the $882 million recorded in Q2 2024 [1][2].
The strong revenue growth was driven by a 51% year-over-year increase in bookings, which reached $1.44 billion in Q2 2025. This figure surpassed the estimated $1.26 billion, demonstrating the platform's continued popularity among users [1][2].
Roblox's user base also saw a significant expansion, with the average daily active users (DAUs) increasing by 41% year-over-year to 111.8 million. The hours engaged on the platform rose by 58% to 27.4 billion, indicating strong user engagement as a key growth driver [1][2].
The company's Q2 2025 earnings report, which is now available, also revealed that Roblox's adjusted earnings per share for the quarter were ($0.41) [1]. However, Roblox's founder and CEO, David Baszucki, attributed the platform's success to strategic investments made to improve its functionality [6].
Looking ahead, Roblox's financial expectations for the remaining quarters of 2025 are very strong, particularly in bookings. For Q3 2025, bookings are projected between $1.59 billion and $1.64 billion, exceeding analysts' earlier estimates of $1.34 billion [3][4]. For the full year 2025, Roblox forecasts bookings in the range of $5.87 billion to $5.97 billion, significantly above prior estimates of $5.29 billion to $5.36 billion [1][3][4].
Despite the robust bookings and revenue outlook, Roblox expects net losses to continue, with Q3 net loss projected between $366 million and $396 million and full-year net loss between $1.20 billion and $1.26 billion, reflecting ongoing investments and expenses [3].
Roblox is also expected to have free cash flow of over $1 billion in 2025 [5]. The company's stock, which now trades at all-time highs, surpassing its previous late-2021 peak, has almost tripled since April 2025 [7].
A notable success story on Roblox is a teen creator who has gained notoriety for a game called "Grow a Garden," which broke records for simultaneous players [8].
