After months of anticipation, official details surrounding the ninth annual Bloxy Awards have finally been announced. Though these February announcements typically lead to a release date in March, this isn't the case for 2022. As Developer Relations head chewbeccca stated in a Roblox DevForum post, the 2022 Bloxy Awards have been pushed back to the fall to allow ample time for development and finality.
While this announcement may be disappointing to some, it's understood as common sense by others. With the Bloxy Awards experiences typically bringing in millions of visitors each year, many players are attributing the delay to a need for more testing time, along with a need to accommodate an increased influx of traffic.

Reflective of the Game Awards' Game of the Year award, the Bloxy Award with the highest honor is also titled Game of the Year. This award is given to the Roblox experience that not only maintained popularity through the entirety of the year prior, but also culminated an exceptionally powerful community, showed continuous development, and was overall well received both on and off the platform. In 2021, this award was given to MiniToon's Piggy.
