Roblox is more than a multiplayer game: it has become a whole metaverse full of endless possibilities, both for users and for big companies. One of them, Walmart, has developed a new experience that will allow players to order physical items and have them delivered to their homes.
Announced in 2023, Walmart Discovered is the name of this experience, which stems from the collaboration between the retail chain and Roblox. Now, Walmart has announced that, starting today, players will be able to access the Walmart Discovered showcase. Here, virtual versions of currently sold physical items at Walmart will be displayed.
If a player wants to buy an item from the ones shown, a window will open within Roblox imitating a Walmart store and then they will be able to purchase it as if it were a “real” store.
From here on, the process to follow will not be very different from buying on Amazon. Players will have to enter their name, address, and credit card information so that the item can be delivered to their home.
Currently, the experience of buying at Walmart through Roblox is only available for players over 13 years old and residents in the United States. If the tests are successful, the possibility of developing similar experiences with shopping areas and physical deliveries would be opened.
