"We're showing up in a big way - creating community, content, entertainment and games through the launch of Walmart Land and Walmart's Universe of Play," said William White, chief marketing officer, Walmart U.S. "Roblox is one of the fastest growing and largest platforms in the metaverse, and we know our customers are spending loads of time there.
