Why Brazil became Roblox's global priority after the United States. In an interview with Bloomberg Línea, Diego Dzodan, Roblox VP for Latin America, details the metaverse giant's expansion plan in the country. October 15, 2026 | 12:01 AM Bloomberg Línea - Brazil has established itself as Roblox's (RBLX) second-largest global market by number of users, behind only the United States. The accelerated expansion in Latin America led the U.S. gaming and metaverse giant to make one of its largest regional bets. The platform assembled its own executive team based in São Paulo, invested in a local data center, and has been making a push to turn its player base into paid creators. The company does not disclose investment figures or the size of its regional team. In an interview with Bloomberg Línea, Argentine Diego Dzodan, VP for Latin America, detailed how the company seeks to sustain double-digit growth in engagement and monetization, while at the same time dealing with the regulatory and security challenges of a platform used mostly by children and adolescents. "I arrived at a moment when the region gained crucial importance for the company. We have things happening here for the first time to respond to this pace of growth," said the executive, the first to lead the newly created physical operation. The executive was a co-founder of Facily, a social commerce platform that reached unicorn status (a valuation of US$1 billion) before facing a financial crisis that still persists, and he served as VP Latam at Facebook, now Meta Platforms.

The project held workshops in Brazilian cities such as Brasília and in Mexican locations such as Mexico City, Querétaro, and Monterrey. Infrastructure, Pix, and corporate partnerships. The consolidation of the operation in Latin America required investments beyond software. Roblox installed a dedicated data center in São Paulo to reduce response time (latency) on local servers and improve game stability. The company also assembled a regional team covering marketing, communications, and technical support, in addition to adapting its direct channels and payment methods to the peculiarities of the local market, including integration with Pix.
