- A Roblox Developer Forum (DevForum) topic asks Roblox Corporation to add to
Code: Select all
IsLongTermSubscriberon the Roblox platform.Code: Select all
MarketplaceService:GetRobloxSubscriptionDetailsAsync
- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Q: Is this a playable Roblox event right now?
A: Not yet. It is a DevForum feature request snapshot on 2026-05-04. - Q: Is this free to follow?
A: Yes. Reading the thread is free, and giving feedback is free. - Q: What rewards could this unlock for players?
A: Games could grant long-term supporter rewards, like "Veteran" skins, name tags, or bonus perks. - Q: Does this expose private subscription history?
A: The proposal says no. It asks for a single true/false value, not the full start date across games. - Q: When will this go live?
A: No launch date was announced as of 2026-05-04.
