Roblox hits handhelds: ROG Xbox Ally is here

Roblox launches on ROG Xbox Ally and Samsung Galaxy Store as part of their ambitious goal to capture 10% of the gaming market, but simultaneously buries the “Continue” sort on the homepage. Developers also get access to new Lionsgate horror franchises with an improved pitch system, plus custom flipbook layouts that make particle animations more efficient and flexible.

Let us know in the comments if you'd like to see a particular guest or have an idea for a deep dive topic.
