The South Korean band Stray Kids is coming to Roblox today, and they’ll be unleashing the SKZOO from now and through the weekend while promoting their new album, Do It. As seen in the clips below, Stray Kids’ anthropomorphic avatars will be performing their songs in-game as virtual concerts.
Stray Kids-related items are also hidden in four different Roblox experiences, with two items per game. Players can collect all eight items and bring them to the Block to watch Stray Kids perform and receive additional free items from the band. However, this event will only run until 10 AM PT/1 PM ET on Monday, December 22.
In other Roblox-related news, the platform has been banned in Russia and accused of negatively impacting children, and apparently considers the dissemination of LGBTQIA+ content to be a crime. But Russia isn’t alone with its accusations that Roblox hasn’t done enough to protect kids from child exploitation and grooming. A June 2024 Bloomberg investigation reported that the platform is rampant with predators. More recently, Florida and Texas have sued Roblox over that issue.
Last month, Roblox revealed new initiatives to keep children from talking to strangers, and limit their interactions to kids roughly their own age. Roblox CEO David Baszucki has “categorically rejected” the lawsuits’ depiction of the platform’s safety measures. He also said that Roblox has done “an incredible job at innovating” and added that it’s “constantly getting better” at protecting children’s ability to chat with each other in-game.
