Bruno Mars is set to perform a special concert in the popular Roblox game "Steal a Brainrot" this weekend, marking his return to live performance since the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show 12 years ago. This unique opportunity will take place on Saturday, January 17, at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, and is a one-time only event.
News of the performance was shared via Roblox’s social media platforms, generating excitement among fans. Mars is expected to showcase his new single "I Just Might," along with his hit song "Locked Out of Heaven." To commemorate the occasion, players will have access to exclusive in-game items and traits themed around Bruno Mars.
While musical events in Roblox are not new, with previous performances by artists like Stray Kids, this concert signifies the first collaboration with "Steal a Brainrot," a game that has gained attention since its launch in May 2025.
The game alongside "Grow a Garden" was among the trending topics on YouTube for 2025, and it seems to be a growing platform for entertainment as Roblox continues to expand its features. However, the platform has recently faced scrutiny regarding safety. Accusations regarding inadequate protections for child users have led to governmental investigations and lawsuits from states like Florida and Texas.
Roblox has been taking steps to enhance security, including rolling out a facial age-check system and implementing initiatives to limit children’s interactions to peers around their age. Despite this, challenges remains as the effectiveness of these measures has shown mixed results.
Roblox continues to push boundaries in virtual performance and engagement, and fans are eager to see how this concert unfolds.
