Roblox Officially Supports GrapheneOS for Enhanced Android Security
We are rolling out remote attestation checks to ensure fair play by verifying device integrity on Android. While rooted devices and emulators are blocked, we now officially support GrapheneOS when the bootloader is locked. Players on unsupported hardware may face access restrictions in specific games, but most standard devices will pass these security requirements automatically without any action needed.
If we skip or weaken these checks for some devices, cheat clients, emulators, and modified apps could pretend to be legitimate devices.

This is a really interesting signal tbh.
While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.

Makes sense for them to support this given their scale. I wouldn't be surprised if GrapheneOS secures another big Android OEM vendor (after Motorola Mobility) and the user base of the OS quickly grows from its current 400k+ to millions.

Seems ridiculous, but when their biggest rival can’t be bothered to support Linux… you see why they might announce something like this.

That is the first time I see something like that!

"Support" seems a bit strong here. the statment has more of a "known to work with" than a whole lot of direct support effort, also you have to have a locked bootloader, here's the relevant statement.
> For power-users: Are all third-party ROMs blocked?
No. We currently support GrapheneOS when the bootloader is locked. We may support other third-party ROMs if:
They do not break the AOSP security model,
They support installation with a locked bootloader,
They properly configure and publish self-signed verified boot keys for their ROM, and
They promptly update to the latest AOSP patch level. We frequently update minimum operating system security requirements.
If ROMs do not consistently adhere to the standards above, we will remove them from the set of supported verified boot keys
