Roblox creators can now sell physical merch in-game
Purchasing in-game items is nothing new to Roblox, but now users can shop for actual physical merch and receive an avatar item on top of it. Eligible creators can bundle digital items with physical purchases, according to Roblox's announcement, and it opens up more avenues for creators to generate revenue in-game.
'Our vision for the future of shopping is an experience that's more exciting and social than the traditional online shopping experience. On Roblox, you can explore virtual stores, try on clothes, and share the experience with others,' the post reads. 'This naturally builds interest and purchase intent. Now we're taking it one step further, bridging the gap between virtual and real-world shopping by enabling Roblox users to purchase physical items.'

Roblox is a powerhouse of popular titles, many of which eclipse the top-played games on Steam. For example, Brookhaven RP has been favorited more than 23 million times, with more than 477,000 active players at the time of writing. Roblox reports that one of its creator studios, Twin Atlas, made more than six figures in the first few weeks of using the commerce platform. The potential for large earnings is there, especially with the more popular games on the platform.
Players can browse real-world items, trying them on virtually to check how they look before deciding whether to purchase them or not. According to a 2023 survey, many shoppers — Gen Z in particular — are more likely to purchase an item after trying it on virtually.
Roblox has partnered with Shopify, but it calls the platform its 'first' integration partner, suggesting more are in the pipeline. Even larger, well-known brands are leaping aboard, with companies like Fenty Beauty utilizing the Roblox commerce platform. The Weeknd is also offering a ticket for his upcoming film, paired with a digital in-game item.
Anyone interested in utilizing this platform must meet the requirements to become an eligible creator, which include verifying your ID, having a Roblox Premium subscription, and following Roblox's Community Standards. It joins several other programs that creators can use to generate real-world revenue from Roblox users, including the Creator Affiliate Pilot Program and selling avatar items and games.

Kris Jenner's Changing Looks Through the Years and Her New Beauty Routine
Kris Jenner has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. The reality star and self-certified 'momager' has been on TV screens and red carpets since the early 1990s, with her arched eyebrows and defined cheekbones. She's openly admitted to undergoing both invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including a neck and face lift in 2011, Botox and an earlobe reduction in 2018. Up until recently, she stuck to a single makeup aesthetic: the smoky eye. Now, she's opting for more of a fresh face. Her makeup artist of nine years, Ash K Holm, told WWD she's been 'playing with softer, more elevated eye looks using light tones on the lid and in the crease.' For Jenner's base, Holm keeps both her skincare and makeup products minimal, going in first with Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream before using the Lancôme Teint Idole foundation and the Kylie Cosmetics Hybrid Blush in Summer Sorbet.

The new trailer for Clockwork Revolution is a wild, extremely steampunk ride
To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Two years after it was first announced, we just got an extended trailer for inXile entertainment's Clockwork Revolution at the Xbox Games Showcase, and it looks kind of incredible — and completely over the top. (A man dubbed "The Knob" pisses his pants a minute and 56 seconds in, and someone else later gets cursed out by an automaton doll). Clockwork Revolution is a first-person steampunk RPG set in 1895 in a place called Avalon, which is ruled by the time-manipulating Lady Ironwood. As the customizable player-character Morgan Vanette, you'll have to use her own tactics against her to turn back time and undo the damage she's caused. As with all things time travel, the butterfly effect will be at play. The new trailer, which is over 5 minutes long, shows us this will be one with a lot of action and bloodshed (plus some brain -shed), and a good share of ridiculousness too. We still don't have a release date, though, just the assurance that it's "coming in due time." When it does eventually arrive, Clockwork Revolution will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox PC, Steam and Xbox Cloud. It'll also support Xbox Play Anywhere, and will be on Xbox Game Pass.

Psychonauts developer's trippy island adventure Keeper comes out on October 17
It's not Psychonauts 3 , but Keeper already looks to be a visually stunning and highly original gaming experience. Double Fine Productions and the company's art director Lee Petty showed off the official announcement trailer for its latest title during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025. It's not as hype as the news of Persona 4 Revival or The Outer Worlds 2 , but this quirky third-person adventure game looks like a fun departure from your typical AAA title. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. As seen in the trailer, Keeper puts you in control of a magically reassembled lighthouse that's since grown legs and has a strange desire to venture towards the central mountain peak of the island. There's no dialogue for this game, but you won't be alone since an equally adventurous seabird joins you on your mysterious mission. There's little revealed about the storyline, but the trailer shows that the lighthouse's beam of light can interact with the island's wildlife, while your trusty winged companion can take care of anything out of your reach. For diehard fans of the Psychonauts franchise, Keeper 's vibrant and striking visuals might be the only thing to scratch that itch for a while. Double Fine Productions previously confirmed in June 2023 that it's not working on Psychonauts 3, following hints at a potential reveal that summer. Double Fine's Keeper will be available on Xbox Series X / S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud, Xbox Game Pass and Steam on October 17.
