Roblox has officially announced plans to completely phase out its Star Codes program by October 24, 2025. This decision comes as the platform shifts its focus to the newly introduced Creator Rewards initiative, which promises to offer content developers more substantial earning opportunities from their creations.

Since its PC debut in 2006, Roblox has grown into one of the world's most popular gaming platforms, boasting millions of active users monthly. The game's expansion to Xbox One in 2015 and PlayStation consoles in October 2023 significantly boosted its player base. In a remarkable achievement, Roblox recently surpassed the combined active player count of Steam's top 100 games, demonstrating its massive popularity and the lucrative potential for content creators.

The transition away from Star Codes, as reported by Bloxy News, marks a significant shift in how Roblox creators will monetize their content. While Star Codes allowed creators to earn 5% commissions from Robux purchases made using their codes, the new Creator Rewards program promises higher earning percentages and broader eligibility. However, some community members on Reddit have expressed skepticism about this unproven system replacing established monetization methods.

Similar to Fortnite's Creator Codes, Roblox's Star Codes have enabled players to support their favorite creators through in-game purchases. The Creator Rewards program aims to build on this concept while addressing its limitations. Roblox assures creators that the new system will offer more substantial earnings without capping potential income, though concerns remain about its impact on engagement-based payouts.
