Kids' Christmas Wishlists Shift Towards Robux and Gaming Subscriptions
This holiday season, many children are asking for virtual currency, such as Robux and Fortnite V-bucks, which provide access to premium features and exclusive games. Platforms like Roblox and Fortnite have seen a surge in users, with millions of children spending hours in these virtual worlds. A recent study shows that video game-related gifts, including subscriptions and in-game currency, are more popular than physical video games. The concept of virtual gaming money is not new, but platforms like Roblox continue to expand their economies, allowing kids to create and sell virtual items. Gaming subscriptions, such as Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, are also gaining popularity. Despite a projected decline in toy sales this year, gaming-related items remain in high demand.
