At the gaming giant's annual Developers Conference today (Sept. 8), Roblox announced that a new in-game "calling" feature will be available for users by the end of the year.
The new Roblox Connect feature will enable a user to call someone from within the Roblox app, as long as that person is their friend on Roblox and has the Roblox app downloaded to their phone. The Roblox Connect request will display on the friend's phone just like a phone call. When the recipient answers, they'll join the caller in the Roblox app for a conversation with the caller's avatar.

Roblox shared in a press release today that, "behind the scenes, we’re essentially packaging a Hollywood-style motion capture studio into something that runs on a mobile phone or laptop—without the need for equipment or motion-tracking dots."

The platform also sees potential for the feature to bring musicians avatar-to-avatar with their fans.
Roblox Connect will be available to age-verified users 13 and over by the end of 2023.
