Roblox just released a letter to shareholders.
- Over 80% of the top 100 Roblox games now use AI.
- Steal an Egg and Huss Valley are almost 100% AI generated.
- More than 70,000 games have been AI generated with Roblox Build.
We just announced our Q3 2026 financial results. Check out our full earnings report, including our Letter to Shareholders: ir.roblox.com/financials/qua…

Another week has passed, and our devs have been cooking up even more updates for Surprise City!
We’ve expanded our minigames and the arcade even further.

When your game has games inside the game 👾
Just finished the Arcades Machines in #UEFN for @SurpriseCityFN!
You can watch others play live, see their screens and scores, and each machine has persistent scores and local audio Full Scene Graph
I remember playing GTA SA, walking up to an arcade machine and wondering how a game could run another game
Well, now I know how it works lol
#FortniteCreative
this time we are really doing our best!
we already have 26 videos organically created (just in tiktok) about @SurpriseCityFN
ill be honest, when @K1K000ZL was able to do this I felt quite silly in remembering how much we'd complain about 100k memory being too limiting. We got it all bois and gurls
Optimizing a 6 km² open world in #UEFN is no joke 4 biomes, 67+ systems, and a LOT to optimize in @SurpriseCityFN.
Made a video breaking down how we got:
Memory: 92% → 65%
Download: 348 MB → ~160 MB
Huge shoutout to @GameDevMicah for his HLOD & material videos!

Hey @jasperlnz !! It started to go right!! :)))) teapaw.org/ugclui/status/21125484…
#UEFN 200k organic views for a map we didnt launch yet!
We've been opening playtests for member of our old Surprise City community and the minigames we created have been popular for content creation.
This makes us happy because these minigames were created with content in mind.
Follow the game's progress on @SurpriseCityFN (and hopefully dont reverse engineer our ideas using AI to launch before us).
@ofreittax you are a god!

Been working on a fully custom pool system in UEFN for our new map @SurpriseCityFN
• 1v1 and 2v2 matches
• Cameras Top-down and First-person
• Fully customizable physics built with Scene Graph
Still VERY WIP, but it's starting to feel like an actual game inside the game

Tried my procedural world on the new VerseVM today and… wow
This is a fully destructible Marching Cubes world 1KM Square running in #UEFN with Verse + Scene Graph Compared to my previous tests, it’s running roughly better on the new VM
Honestly, seeing it run this smoothly got me really excited to start working on this project again

Hidden UEFN gem, this guy is
Every build in Surprise City started as a single AI-generated image.
Here's how I built the bank, the hospital and the police department in UEFN, plus a quick tour of the map. Coming soon to Fortnite. @SurpriseCityFN

#UEFN A bit of how we thought about the next game we are putting out
We invited Juninho the Alien 👽 to share a little about the building and game design behind Surprise City.
It’s a city made for players and creators to have fun and create their own content!

this is inside a Fortnite CITY island.
One of many minigames that lay far from our core loop, but that will add a lot to our long term player.
We've broken down every single interaction in the game into: PvP, PvE and Social.
We are going against what we normally believe and try to make this an island that sustains the long term RP player, but also serves the trad Fortnite player that wants the CITY intense PvP.

We are happy and grateful to be part of this journey with @PandvilNetwork and @miniarcstudios
It's been over a year since we acquired Fruits vs Brainrots
Here is what we've achieved so far:
126,000+ All-Time Peak
100+ Million Total Plays
40,000+ Discord Members
We never imagined this, but we are so grateful to the team and our community for making this possible 💚
@FruitsVBrainrot @FNCreate
we are going to put real life in @SurpriseCityFN
WIP A fully functional pool system with real physics, built with Scene Graph for @SurpriseCityFN
I’ve wanted to add little minigames like this to open-world maps forever because they make the world feel way more alive.
You’ll be able to play 1v1 and 2v2 matches right inside the city

#UEFN GTA 6 is going to bring in the biggest wave of CITY maps Fortnite has ever seen.
We know competition is going to be tough.
But we are coming to battle with our biggest game yet.
3 years ago we had great success with Surprise City and we are now remaking it 10x better.
We are making devlogs of all we are doing so that you can follow our progress and maybe inspire. (Yeah, we are fueling our competition as well, but who cares, if we are good enough, it's ok)
@SurpriseCityFN is coming to you soon!
WEEKLY DEV RECAP
Surprise City grows every week. Here’s a quick look at what our team has been building lately. 👇

A unique weapon system by @K1K000ZL has just arrived in our map, and it looks incredible! We’ve never seen anything quite like it in Fortnite, and it has us even more excited to use it in-game. 🔥
#SurpriseCity2 #UEFN #Fortnite
Full weapon inspection + customization system is coming to the upcoming @SurpriseCityFN map.
Swap attachments, change skins, upgrade individual stats, rotate and inspect the weapon in real time.
Still WIP, but I'm really happy with where this is going.

se um wildcard já muda tudo, imagina uma empresa inteira deles.
em 2022 o @ugclui fundou um estúdio de games sem contratar um único dev tradicional.
em vez de buscar currículo pronto, ele foi atrás de quem vivia os jogos de dentro das comunidades.
jogar muito não transforma ninguém em founder do dia pra noite. mas o timing tava ali: o boom de ugc gaming. epic games e roblox já entregavam as ferramentas, a distribuição e a monetização.
faltava o principal: gente com a linguagem, os códigos culturais e o instinto do que faz uma comunidade realmente se importar.
acompanhei de perto as vidas que a @surpriseugc transformou com a fórmula: visão e timing de mercado + aposta em talentos fora do padrão.
wildcard day (3/5)

Bard is too good!
Our Twitter dev logs for surprise city 2 have begun!
We’re going to try and share all we can from all stages , follow @SurpriseCityFN
I’ve always loved these 3D billboards, so I’m really happy I got to make one for the new @SurpriseCityFN map! 👀
Still a WIP, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming together so far :)
Follow @SurpriseCityFN to keep up with more progress!

The Epic Games layoff was probably the best thing to ever happen to me! Since then I have linked up with several ex-Rock Band/Fortnite folks to form @TheDropCircuit!
Today, we released GO VIRAL TYCOON (6636-8757-5923) in Fortnite! It's not just another tycoon game, its built from the ground up for player FUN, and to be a platform for artists & brands!
DM if you want to player together!
HUGE SHOUTOUT @MFTFGames for the killer trailer!
