Ava Max Heaven & Hell Launch Party[]
In 2020, Ava collaborated with the game ROBLOX and held a virtual in-game concert. The game for the concert was open to play on the 24th of September for the launch party. The actual concert was held the next day. There was an in-game timer to indicate when the concert was going to start. The concert didn't get a lot of positive feedback as it wasn't very good in quality, and most of the singing was displayed on a screen in the game. At some point in the concert, she appeared as her ROBLOX morph, which didn't look very pleasing. The morph of her held a microphone to sing, and while her morph was singing, she accidentally walked her morph into a hole and fell. That part of the concert became a meme to the ROBLOX community. There were also Ava Max-themed ROBLOX avatar items and accessories you could buy using the ROBLOX currency Robux. [citation needed]
