Roblox morning briefing — September 18, 2026: The Hunt is live, two free trades a month, and two creator updates

The Hunt: Roblox 20 is open to everyone

• Where it is. The event runs as a single experience at roblox.com/games/74205509034203. Opened at 08:20 this morning, its page showed 188,436 players inside, 79,669 favourites, 33.6 million visits, and about 19,000 likes against 4,305 dislikes. 1
• What the page promises. Roblox's own description sets out 20 years of history played "one era at a time," and closes with "stay tuned for more surprises as The Hunt: Roblox 20 unfolds." The event runs to September 28. 1
• The shape of the track. Players start at Year Zero and work forward a year at a time, one quest per era, with UGC rewards collected along the way; finishing all 20 years unlocks Year Infinity, a second set of 20 games. 3
• Which games are in it. Roblox's own announcement names four of the portals: Lumber Tycoon 2, Jailbreak, Adopt Me! and Grow a Garden. 4 Guides tracking the event badges inside the hub have compiled the full set of 20, and two of them list the same lineup. 56

Six games to film first

• Crossroads — the founding-era map at the head of the track, and the opening shot for any Short about where the platform started.
• Work at a Pizza Place — the job simulator half the audience has never seen; one shift films as one continuous bit.
• Murder Mystery 2 — round-based, so a badge attempt fits a single clip with a clear outcome at the end.
• Jailbreak — one of the four Roblox named itself, and the one whose map an older audience will recognise first.
• Adopt Me! — the second of Roblox's four, and the portal where a Short can show how wide the crowd inside the hub is.
• Grow a Garden — the newest of Roblox's four, and the one to open when the Short needs today's Roblox sitting next to 2006.
• The countdown Roblox left running. The restored 2004 site at dynablocks.com read 1 day, 11 hours and 48 minutes when we opened it this morning, which lands on September 19 at 20:00 Central European time, or 11 a.m. Pacific. 7 Roblox has said nothing about what the countdown is for, and its event page closes by telling players to stay tuned for more surprises. 1
• What the thread is asking. The official event thread has passed 70 posts. One player asked whether finishing all 20 years is required, since they are banned from one of the participating games; another asked whether the Classic theme is gone for good if they subscribe after the event, having read it that way; a third asked when the event opens to everyone. The leaderboard keeps coming back: the announcement says players compete for a spot on one and leaves the scoring unexplained. 4

Two free trades a month for players outside Plus

• Who it covers. The help article scopes the promotion to the United States. The same article notes that trading is unavailable in South Korea. 8
• What it changes for one account. Two trades a month is a small allowance, and for a player who owns a limited item it is the difference between a locked inventory and a market. Trades cannot be reversed once accepted, and Roblox takes a 30% fee on any Robux inside one. 8
• What the paperwork says. The article's setup section still lists an active Plus subscription as something both players need before they can send or receive a trade, which sits beside the promotion without a line reconciling the two. 8
• How it reached players. The promotion appears on the trade screen and in Roblox's help article. Neither the Developer Forum's announcements board nor the Roblox newsroom carried a post about it as of this morning. 89

Collision geometry gets a precision slider

• What it replaces. Collision fidelity used to be a fixed choice from a short list, and meshes that landed awkwardly between those options got worse collision than they needed. 10
• Existing work stays put. Existing meshes keep the collision geometry they already have. A MeshPart changes only when its owner switches it to Tunable and moves the slider. 10
• The default depends on size. Roblox picks the starting precision from the mesh's size, so it recommends sizing a mesh roughly right before switching. 10
• Seeing it got easier. The visual mesh and the collision geometry can now be rendered together with adjustable transparency, the view can be filtered by CanCollide, CanQuery, CanTouch or collision group, and collision geometry previews automatically while CollisionFidelity is being edited. 10
• The cost of the first look. Computing the precision levels on a complex mesh can take up to 5 seconds the first time; the levels are cached after that and the slider moves smoothly. Switching many meshes at once can pause Studio, and asynchronous, cloud-transcoded computation is in progress. 10
• What staff answered in the thread. Collision geometry is stored in the place file, so all servers get the same shape and only an explicit change recomputes it. On the slider, 0 matches Hull and 1 is a near-exact decomposition, and the value is a fraction of the convex count rather than a number that maps onto Default or PreciseConvexDecomposition. Improving the algorithm later will not silently regenerate anyone's geometry. 10
• The question Roblox put to developers. Resizing a mesh currently leaves its collision geometry alone. Roblox plans an option and wants to know which behaviour should be the default: adjust the geometry to hold relative precision, or scale what is already there. 10
• Where it still struggles. The post lists stray convexes on meshes whose detail is very fine relative to their size or that contain many intersecting parts, and a visualizer that can show incorrect collision meshes for avatars. A developer building kart tracks says that even at precision 1 the track is not smooth enough to drive on, and that they add 7,000 to 30,000 invisible wedge parts to compensate; a Roblox staff member asked for the mesh so the team could look at it. 10

Player Support opens in early access

• Getting in. Creators sign up through a Roblox form and access is granted on a rolling basis, with a notification in Creator Hub and Studio. The portal sits under Creator Hub, then Creations, then the game, then Audience, then Player Support. 11
• The entry point inside a game. A creator adds it with FeedbackType PlayerSupport through SocialService:PromptFeedbackSubmissionAsync, after which a player can file a report mid-session, in the place where the problem happened. 11
• What each report carries. Roblox's form asks where it happened, on which device, and for details, attaches device and client metadata automatically, and accepts up to three screenshots. A player can also tick a box to share their user information with the creator. 11
• Duplicates collapse. Repeat reports about the same problem cluster into one issue, so a creator triages one ticket rather than dozens of copies. 11
• Replying. Replies come from a pre-approved response library, with categories switched on per game, and custom responses are on the way. Tickets carry an open or closed status, both sides are notified as one moves, and a creator can filter read and unread, answer several similar tickets with one bulk reply, and export the queue to CSV. Players see that a team member from the game replied, not the creator's account. 11
• On Community forums too. A new "Attach bug reports" permission lets players attach a bug report from the forum post editor. Forums are tier-gated, so this applies to games that already have one. 11
• What is coming. By the end of the year: client logging and microprofiler dumps, spam detection, custom responses, and translation for player-submitted reports. In 2027: reporting for players under 13, and AI help with de-duplication and issue clustering. 11
• What developers pushed back on. The reply model drew the most criticism: a developer running a large game calls the pre-approved messages a blocker and says bug reports will keep arriving through Discord instead; others asked which community tier unlocks forum bug reports, and whether Cloud API endpoints or webhooks will follow so tickets can reach their own trackers. 11

Shorts ideas to chase first

1. The hub on its first full day. Record the player count on the hub page, then walk the year-by-year portals and step into one era. The number is fresh today and the crowd disappears after September 28. 1
2. A free trade on an account without Plus. Show the counter reading two of two and the December 31 end date, then the item you would move. 89
3. The collision slider in one take. Drag it from 0 to 1 over an awkward mesh with the collision geometry visible, and land on the resize question Roblox is asking. 10
4. Reporting a bug from inside a game. The form is new enough that most players have not seen it. Show the fields, the private label, and the ticket that results. 11
