Bring Back “Friends” on Roblox — Not “Connections”

The Issue

Roblox recently renamed the "Friends" feature to "Connections," a change that feels corporate, impersonal, and out of touch with the spirit of the platform. Roblox is more than just a game engine

— it's a place where friendships are built, creativity thrives, and players connect on a personal level.

By calling them "Connections," Roblox risks turning genuine relationships into sterile networking links. We, the players, want our Friends back - not vague "Connections." This change affects how we see each other and how we interact in-game.

We urge Roblox to restore the original "Friends" label and keep the platform player-centered, not platform-centered. Let's preserve the heart of Roblox: friendship, fun, and community.

Sign and share if you agree - let's make our voices heard.



Roblox has been a part of my life for a long time, and the term "Friends" holds significant meaning. It's not just a label; it's a symbol of the bonds we've formed in this online world. "Connections" feels distant, almost business-like, and doesn't capture the essence of what these relationships mean to us.

This potential change has sparked widespread concern. According to community forums and player feedback, a significant majority of users believe that maintaining "Friends" is crucial to preserving the identity and spirit of Roblox. This sentiment is echoed by thousands who cherish the personal and communal aspects of gaming.

Renaming "Friends" to "Connections" could possibly diminish the sense of camaraderie and personal interaction that makes Roblox unique. It's vital for Roblox to listen to its community and acknowledge the importance of these friendships, which are formed through countless hours of gameplay and shared experiences.

While I understand updates are necessary for progress, this change seems to fix something that wasn't broken. Players turn to Roblox not just for entertainment, but for a sense of belonging and community. I strongly believe that altering such a fundamental term could inadvertently harm the positive culture Roblox has cultivated.

Let's unite to keep the heart of Roblox alive. Encourage Roblox to reconsider this change and preserve what makes it special for millions of players around the world. Sign this petition to urge Roblox to stick with "Friends," a term that truly represents the connections we've grown to value.
