Roblox has brought back one of its most exciting live events with the Creator Showdown Las Vegas, the official sequel to the December 2025 Creator Showdown that captivated millions of players worldwide. If you missed the first one, now is the perfect time to jump in, because this edition is bigger, louder, and packed with more ways to earn free UGC items.
What Is the Creator Showdown Las Vegas?
Creator Showdown Las Vegas is the second in a new series of creator-led competitions that Roblox has built to showcase esports with a distinctly Roblox flavor. Defending champions Caylus and Foltyn, who claimed the title at the first event held in Los Angeles, return to take on six new challengers in this in-person Las Vegas tournament held in front of a live audience.
The original Creator Showdown saw eight Roblox creators compete live across five experiences for a share of a $50,000 prize pool, streamed simultaneously to The Block, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. This second edition carries forward that same high-energy format while introducing a fresh cast, a new venue, and a reworked structure that gives viewers more power than before.
When and Where to Watch
The Creator Showdown went live on April 24, 2026, beginning at 12:30 PM PT and running for approximately four hours, ending around 4:30 PM PT. The stream is broadcast on Roblox’s official YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok channels, and simultaneously inside The Block experience on Roblox, where players can watch, win prizes, and interact with various parts of the competition.
Hosts and Competitors
Veteran esports commentator Mimi “aEvilCat” Wermcrantz returns as host alongside Roblox content creators ProjectSupreme and Anthony “RussoPlays” Russo. Bundun, who served as cohost for the first Creator Showdown, is back this time as a competitor.
The four competing teams are:
- Caylus and Foltyn (defending champions)
- LanaRae and SabrinaBrite
- Bundun and TheaBeasty
- Cash and Vindooly
Team members compete in 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4 events across five rounds, with each round showcasing a different Roblox game genre.
The Game Lineup
The five-round competition features Rivals, the high-flying arena shooter that also appeared in the first Creator Showdown; Chained, a cooperative obby where two players are literally linked together and must navigate obstacles in tandem; Racket Rivals, a futuristic racket sport combining elements of badminton, tennis, squash, and volleyball; and Knockout, a turn-based breakout hit from 2026 where players try to knock each other off a platform.
The wildcard round, moved up to Round 3 this time, lets players in The Block vote between Gunfight Arena, a fast-paced FPS, and Dueling Grounds, a one-on-one weapons fighter. At the first Creator Showdown, the audience vote landed on Volleyball Legends, which ended up being a decisive moment in the competition.
How to Earn Cred and Get Free UGC
The three free UGC items up for grabs in this event are the Showdown Bunny Ears, the Showdown Traffic Cone, and the Showdown Sword Pack. To claim them, you need to collect Cred, the event currency, through a variety of tasks inside The Block and across participating games.
The Creator Showdown 2026 runs from April 20 to April 24, 2026. Players can earn Cred by completing different quests, with some quests already live and completable by playing participating games before the livestream begins. Quests that give the highest Cred can only be completed during the Creator Showdown livestream on April 24.
Here are the ways to earn Cred before the livestream:
- RSVP to the Creator Showdown event inside The Block for 100 Cred
- Join the Roblox Music group on Roblox for 300 Cred
- Earn 100 Cred for each past event in The Block you have attended
- Complete in-game badges across all six participating experiences for 350 Cred each
The six participating games and their badge requirements are as follows:
- Knockout – Win five games
- Racket Rivals – Pop 30 balloons during matches
- Gunfight Arena – Play through an entire match
- Chained (two-player obby) – Reach the ten-minute mark in your playthrough
- Dueling Grounds – Complete three duels
- Rivals – Included as part of the badge roster
During the livestream itself, additional Cred becomes available through tasks such as syncing a dance with other players, voting in community polls, inviting friends to join during the stream, reacting alongside a group using the same emote, and simply watching alongside a friend. Watching the livestream itself rewards 300 Cred for every 10 minutes you stay in The Block, making it the single largest source of points available.
To redeem Cred, head to The Block, open the in-game phone, click on Perks, browse the list, and select the item you want. It will be added directly to your inventory.
Tips to Make the Most of the Event
The badge quests across the participating games must be completed before the livestream begins, so it is worth getting those done in the days leading up to April 24. Knockout, in particular, has drawn some attention as a trickier badge, since winning five games in a turn-based strategy format requires more focus than a simple participation task.
Players can earn Cred starting April 20 by playing featured games, then trade Cred during the livestream for exclusive Roblox avatar items and power-ups. The more you play the featured games before the event, the more rewards you can unlock when the competition begins.
Players can also influence the competition by picking the Round 3 wildcard game, exclusively while watching inside The Block. This is a feature unique to watching through Roblox rather than on external streaming platforms, so it is worth loading up The Block even if you plan to follow the action on YouTube or Twitch at the same time.
Final Thoughts
The Roblox Creator Showdown Las Vegas builds on everything that made the first event a hit while adding interactive layers that make the audience feel like genuine participants. Whether you are tuning in for the competition, the community energy, or simply the free UGC items, there is plenty on offer. Get your badge quests done early, stock up on Cred, and make sure you are in The Block when the stream goes live.
