Roblox DevForum Event: IsLongTermSubscriber API Push (2026-05-04 to ongoing)

Roblox · Mon May 04, 2026 10:26 am

Quick Summary

A Roblox Developer Forum (DevForum) topic asks Roblox Corporation to add
Code: Select all
```
IsLongTermSubscriber
```
to
Code: Select all
```
MarketplaceService:GetRobloxSubscriptionDetailsAsync
```
on the Roblox platform.
The idea is simple: let games show the right Roblox Plus discount fast, like 10% for newer subscribers and 20% for long-term subscribers.
Snapshot date is 2026-05-04, and the thread shows 1 post and 1 participant so far.

What's New
This is a community feature-request event, not a live in-game quest. But it could change shop UIs in many games.

Right now, creators often do a workaround: compare server base prices and client prices with RemoteEvents.
That workaround is clunky and can break when pricing logic changes.
The new field would return only true/false, so it keeps privacy tighter than sharing full subscription dates across experiences.

How to Participate

Open the DevForum topic and read the full proposal.
Check the example API call and think about your favorite game's shop UI.
If you build games, post a tiny test case (example: base price 100 Robux, show 10% or 20% cleanly).
If you are a player, comment what "Veteran" perks you want (cosmetics, title tags, bonus slots). Keep it specific.
Follow the thread so you can react fast if Roblox posts an update date.

Why You Should Care

Better rewards: long-time Roblox Plus supporters could get cool "Veteran" cosmetics or perks in more places.
Less confusion: clearer "you save X%" text means fewer bad buys and fewer "wait, what did I pay?" moments.
Faster shops: less hacky price checking can mean cleaner code and fewer weird UI bugs.
Big community win: one shared API field helps many games at once, not just one experience.
