Robox


 * This article is about a fictitious gaming console. For the game platform, see Roblox. For the purchasable accessory, see Catalog:Robox.

The Robox is a fictional video game console that was first introduced in the Roblox blog on April 1, 2019, to celebrate April Fools' Day. It is described as being "PoweRed by Imagination" and has the ability to wirelessly connect to any device, including those that cannot connect to the internet. It was also written that tilting the console at 14.7 degrees to the right would fire up a fictional "RBX Imagination™ CPU", which supposedly has 64 cores @ 6 GHz. It also boasted 8K rendering at 240 Hz and 140 FPS and came preinstalled with Roblox and Roblox Studio.

An April Fools link to pre-order the console was also present on the blog post, but it would redirect users to a 404 error page.

On April 1, 2020, it was released onto the Avatar Shop as a wearable item, as said in the second-to-last sentence of the blog post. The original blog post from the year prior to the release of the virtual item was also updated to change the pre-order link to the item's actual URL page instead. The link itself was not changed, but the Roblox blog post had its code updated so that the link would, instead of taking you to the original "https://www.roblox.com/aprilfools" page, link you to https://www.roblox.com/catalog/4819740796/Robox. Now, if you went to https://www.roblox.com/aprilfools, it would redirect you to a 404 error page.
