Changes: Genre (feature)

Revision as of 01:44, 25 December 2017

Warning

This article is about a ROBLOX feature that is no longer available.

Genres are groups that make it easier to find a specific game. For example, if a game was set in the wild west, it would go in the Western genre.

The Genres filtering was removed in October 26th 2017 for an apparently unknown reason. This caused a bit of outrage in the forums after it was removed.
