Having launched in December 2021, Squishmallows on Roblox has emerged as a metaverse gaming sensation, expanding the world of the immensely popular Squishmallows brand and fusing two pop-culture phenomena in an exciting play experience for fans.
In just over four months, Squishmallows on Roblox has seen an impressive level of interest with 14 million play sessions garnering 50,000 group members, 3.7 million registered unique users, a massive 1.5 million monthly active user base, and a 90% positive rating from players, all of which reinforce the Squishmallows brand’s ability to resonate widely with audiences.
Developed in-house through Jazwares Game Studio, Squishmallows on Roblox is the ultimate digital world where fans can collect Squishmallows virtual plush, hang with friends in an ultra-cool and vibrant world, compete in thrilling minigames, and customise their very own Squishmallows-themed home. Jazwares Game Studios will be looking to expand on this recent success to further explore additional IP and in-platform licensing opportunities.
“The success of Squishmallows on Roblox speaks volumes about how the brand has captured the attention of millions and continues to thrive across categories beyond plush,” says Laura Zebersky, President, Jazwares. “We are proud of the work our team at Jazwares Game Studio has done to build this cool and colourful virtual world and look forward to growing our presence on the Roblox platform.”

For this Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S rollout, exclusive Squishmallows characters and content will be debuted and regularly added to boost in-game features and functionality further.
“We’ve seen exponential growth with Squishmallows on Roblox and have created an experience that has really resonated with our fans in an authentic, meaningful way within the rapidly expanding metaverse,” says Kyle Hulse, Operations Director, Jazwares Game Studio. “Jazwares Game Studio is constantly evolving our gameplay to engage, delight, and ultimately open the door for exciting new collaborations, characters, and impactful playability we know our community will love.”
