Why you might like it

  • An enormous platform of user-created games and experiences, effectively containing thousands of different MMO-style and other game types within one app.
  • Free to play and free to create, with a huge amount of content accessible without spending anything.
  • Cross-platform play across PC, mobile, consoles, and VR lets friends play together across almost any device.
  • A massive, extremely active young and all-ages community, with millions of user-generated experiences to explore.
  • The in-platform creation tools let motivated players build and publish their own games, not just play others'.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This is a platform of many separate games and experiences rather than a single persistent MMORPG — the type of experience varies enormously by which game you're playing.
  • Robux (the platform's currency) purchases and individual-experience monetization are a significant part of many games hosted on the platform.
  • Content moderation quality varies a lot across the huge number of user-created experiences, so parental awareness matters for younger players.
  • Individual experiences can shut down or change at any time since they're run by independent creators, not a single unified developer.
  • Because it hosts so many different game types, there isn't one consistent "Roblox experience" the way there is with a dedicated MMORPG.
