Hey Problox crew!

Not gonna lie, this week in Roblox was genuinely one of the wildest in recent memory. Roblox launched its new subscription service and it's already on fire (not in a good way). But the good news is that one of the biggest One Piece-like games has a massive update this weekend. Also, don’t forget to check out our other Problox newsletters if you haven’t seen them before; here is what you missed.

Roblox Plus Launched, But Without Robux? Whaaat?

After Players across the DevForum are asking the same thing: "I subscribed to Roblox Plus and got no Robux. What's going on?"

Here's the catch. Roblox Plus does not include a Robux stipend. It's a discounts-and-perks subscription: 10% off in-game purchases, free private servers, and access to the new Transfers system. The Robux bundles (Plus 500, Plus 1000, Plus 2000) that actually include monthly Robux have not launched yet, and no date has been given. Players who expected it to work like old Premium are left with nothing.

On top of that, the launch itself has been buggy. The purchase button wasn't showing on the web (DevForum), cards were getting declined across multiple attempts (DevForum), and Premium subscribers promised a free trial link never got one (DevForum). No official response from Roblox yet.

Sailor Piece Huge Update Drops This Weekend

The Sailor Piece Huge Update lands tomorrow, Saturday, May 9, and the patch notes are stacked! There are 2 new swords, a brand new melee, a full Raids system, an Index and Milestones progression tracker, new Questlines, a new Artifact Set and Relics, Secret Races and Bloodlines, and a revamped Clan System.

We have you covered over at PGG. Codes, tier lists, boss locations, full Sea 1 to Sea 2 progression walkthrough, everything is in one place:

Adopt Me Is Shaking Up the Weather System?

Adopt Me just announced a new "Weather Needs and QOL" update. Weather in the game will now run on a weekly cycle when it first launches, so you'll have a full week to enjoy a new weather type and grab its exclusive items before it shifts to the usual 36-hour monthly rotation.

On Saturday, the admins are also testing all weather changes at once, so keep an eye on the Adopt Me socials.

Roblox Is Killing Cross-Game Gamepass Sales (And Yes, This Means Pls Donate)

On May 4, Roblox announced that cross-game gamepass sales will be disabled starting May 29. That's the exact system PLS DONATE was built around. The replacement is the Transfers API, but you'll need a Roblox Plus subscription to use it, with a 1,000 Robux-per-month cap and age verification required on both ends.

The creator of PLS DONATE posted on X that developers were given no advance notice. The reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with most players seeing it as a subscription push dressed up as a safety measure. May 29 is the deadline
