Roblox CEO David Baszucki says Roblox's open beta on Meta's Quest headsets, launched on July 27, has already been downloaded “well over” 1M times

another step towards Roblox everywhere, on all devices. @nathievr : the retention rate of Quest must be going through the roof right now Robert Scoble / @scobleizer : Meta's virtual world looking way better lately. With Roblox on Quest headsets too, which got a million downloads, it makes me wonder if Zuckerberg can get VR to grow a lot faster than it has lately in interest and sales? @jdunrrp : Over 1 million downloads in the first five days for @Roblox on @MetaQuestVR 🤯‼️That's a whole lotta of folks jumping into or getting back into #VR 🎉🗣️‼️ I truly believe this is the start of a new #virtualReality wave that will have many more peeps engage with the tech🙌🏾 Matt / @bmfshow : I've been jumping into Roblox VR on Quest pretty much every day to check out new stuff. I still haven't scratched the surface. I visited Disney World and went on Tower of Terror. I think the most impressive thing is the sheer volume of people always in this game. It's insane. [video]
