Roblox's recent music partnerships have included an event hosted by The Jonas Brothers in popular game Steal An Egg (pictured)
Symphonic has signed a deal with Roblox to bring “hundreds of thousands of curated songs” distributed by the company to the gaming and creation platform.
The Tampa-headquartered music technology and services company announced the agreement on Thursday (November 12).
Update: An earlier version of this story, based on information in a press release, reported (attributed to Symphonic) that artists would receive royalties for plays of their music on Roblox. We’ve now been told this press release contained an error: Symphonic artists will not receive royalties from the platform via the partnership.
The songs are now available in the Roblox Creator Store, where developers can hear a 15-second preview of each track before adding it to a game.
Tracks can be placed in games via sound objects, jukeboxes, and other items, according to Symphonic.
The agreement also covers use of the music in Moments, a tab in the Roblox app that shows players clips of other users’ gameplay and lets them launch into the games featured.
Roblox first introduced Moments in beta in 2025, letting users record gameplay clips of up to 30 seconds, edit them, add music, and share them.
The songs covered by the deal come from “up-and-coming and established artists” across Latin, hip-hop, pop, rock, and electronic music, according to Symphonic.
“We are always looking for new ways to put our artists in front of listeners, so working with Roblox just makes sense,” said Jorge Brea, Founder and CEO of Symphonic.
“They have already done such a great job integrating music into their platform through live online events, and we want to be a big part of their move into music discovery across environments.”

“Our priority is empowering our global creator community with the tools to build exceptional games – and music is an essential part of that,” said Jessica Meehan, Head of Music Partnerships at Roblox.
“Partnering with Symphonic enriches our library with sounds that reflect our community’s diverse preferences, especially with their expansive library of music from Latin American artists mirroring our creator population’s growth in the region.
“At the same time, we’re able to provide artists an immersive platform to reach new listeners and cultivate dedicated fans.”

In 2024, Robloxstruck a deal with DistroKid that let independent artists opt in to having their music made available on the platform via an invite-only beta.
Artists who took part in that beta granted Roblox developers rights to use their music “on a gratis basis”, according to an opt-in form seen by MBW at the time.
Participating DistroKid artists were also required to own 100% of their publishing and not be registered with a performing rights organization such as ASCAP or BMI.
Roblox formally announced the DistroKid integration in September 2024, alongside plans to launch music charts as part of a push into music discovery.
Symphonic was founded in 2006 by Brea, and describes itself as 100% independent.
The following month, it launched Symphonic NEXT, a program offering catalog financing, royalty advances, and acquisitions to independent artists, labels, and managers.
Symphonic raised $37 million in a Series B funding round led by NewSpring and Ballast Point Ventures in 2022.Music Business Worldwide
