Roblox has introduced a new licensing platform called License Manager aimed at facilitating collaboration between Roblox creators and intellectual property (IP) holders like Netflix, Lionsgate, and Sega. This streamlined licensing process allows "eligible creators" to gain access to assets from popular franchises such as Squid Game, Stranger Things, Twilight, and the Yakuza series, including Like a Dragon. This initiative is designed to make it easier for creators to officially use these IPs in their games while also allowing rights holders to monitor the use of their properties. Roblox emphasizes that this development is just the initial step, with more IP holders expected to join the program, potentially reshaping how creative content is developed on the platform.

The new licensing system benefits creators by simplifying the process of obtaining licenses for popular IPs, thus enabling them to use well-known franchises in their games without navigating complex legal frameworks. This can lead to a more diverse range of content that is officially sanctioned, enhancing the gaming experience for players.
