Roblox Plus is replacing the current Premium subscription, and it sounds like a big upgrade

Roblox will retire its Premium subscription model and introduce a new subscription called Roblox Plus, effective April 30. Existing Premium subscribers can keep their plan but will lose certain benefits, such as bonus Robux. Roblox Plus will offer a fixed monthly rate of .99, a 10% discount on in-game purchases (increasing to 20% after three consecutive months), and access to free unlimited private servers. Creators can earn 100 Robux for each Plus user spending time in their private servers and receive a bonus of 250 Robux for each new subscriber they bring in. Users will be able to trade and resell avatar items and transfer Robux, with parental approval required for users under 18. Optional extras for bundling subscriptions with additional Robux will be introduced after launch, but the 10% bonus on additional Robux purchases will be eliminated.

Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores

Google will reduce its share of Play Store transactions from 30 percent to 20 percent, and in some cases as low as 15 percent for new app installs from developers participating in specific programs. Developers using Google's billing system in certain regions will be charged a five percent fee. Third-party app stores can now apply to Google's "Registered App Stores" program. Google plans to have the new fee structure in place globally by September 30, 2027.
