Roblox is launching its initial public offering. But what exactly is Roblox?

One of the most popular gaming platforms is about to go public. Roblox is expected to start trading shares in the growing video game company on Wednesday. It will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RBLX." Earlier this month, Roblox Corporation said it expects to rake in between $320 million and $335 million during the first quarter of 2021, nearly double from the previous year. If you're a parent, then it's likely the only time you ever hear about Roblox is when your kids play it – or discuss the endless activities they complete with friends.
