What Roblox means by Simulation

“Games simulating real-world systems, processes, and activities. The focus is on performing specific activities like managing businesses or operating vehicles.”

Roblox Creator Hub, Genres (Roblox Creator Hub), checked Oct 11, 2026.

Simulation is the genre Roblox gives to games about running something: a business, a base, a vehicle or a counter that keeps going up. Roblox splits it into six subgenres. In a Tycoon you collect money from droppers and spend it upgrading your base. In an Incremental Simulator simple repeated actions raise a number and unlock new levels and characters. Idle, Physics Sim, Sandbox and Vehicle Sim complete the set.

The subgenre column below tells a tycoon from a simulator or a driving game. For the games with an ObbyDesk hub, the passes page lists every game pass Roblox shows with its listed Robux price, so you can see what a game sells before anyone spends.

The genre is Roblox's, shown on each game's Roblox page. The developer picks it, and Roblox says: “Roblox regularly reviews games and may update any genre selections that appear inaccurate.” ObbyDesk never moves a game to another genre. Roblox also says: “Roblox also uses this information when placing games in genre-specific top and trending sorts on the Charts page.”
