As a collective sigh of relief is simultaneously exhaled by all members of the ROBLOX Communications team, Virtual BLOXcon 2014 has come to an end. With over 125,000 individuals tuning into the six-hour+ stream, we’re proud to say that this year’s Virtual BLOXcon was the biggest and best live event we’ve ever hosted. And it’s only the beginning of more live content we have planned for you in the coming months.

We covered a lot of ground during this event, and want to make sure that those who missed it get to see some of the highlights, including announcements about — wait for it — ANDROID, Kindle Fire, and many other equally exciting, silly, and informative things. Check out (or just revisit) what transpired!

Office tour

On top of everything above, we hosted a second stage with video content we couldn’t fit into the Main Stage livestream. One of the most well received segments was a tour of ROBLOX HQ. If you missed it, here’s that portion of the stream as a standalone video.

Whew. It was a long day. As always, the Virtual BLOXcon livestream has been archived so you can watch the entire thing, beginning to end, at youtube.com/roblox. Thanks to the thousands of people who tuned in and spent the day with us during our biggest virtual event yet! We’ll see you again soon.
