Roblox Innovation Awards (ended)
The 2026 Roblox Innovation Awards took over The Block on the night of September 12, running from about 10:00 PM to midnight ET (2:00 AM to 4:00 AM UTC on September 13). The livestream celebrated the games and creators voted this year’s winners — the platform’s highest honors — and tuning in unlocked four exclusive RIA-themed UGC items made in collaboration with Twin Atlas. It was comfortably the biggest draw of the weekend, with about 820,000 players marked as going, and it has now finished.
RIA 26 Afterparty (ended)
Right after the awards, The Block threw a Monstercat-themed afterparty that opened late on September 12 — about 11:50 PM ET (3:50 AM UTC on September 13) — and ran with replays through the afternoon of September 14. It handed out a free limited-time Monstercat collectible, a new dance-floor emote, and a full Monstercat avatar set including a helmet, hat, bandanas, and a flag. Interest was strong but a step behind the awards show, with about 300,000 players marked as going, and it has now wrapped.
