Roblox: Everything you need to know
The virtual world of Roblox is absolutely huge, and thanks to its release on additional platforms such as PS4 and PS5 there are now more players than ever getting involved. Roblox provides the tools to let you play, build, and create pretty much anything you can imagine, and since 2006 users have been letting their imaginations run wild to create a wide range of experiences. There have already been billions of hours logged by the global community of creators, and with so much going on there it's likely that you'll have at least heard of Roblox before – but have you jumped into it yourself? If not, we're here to help.
Here you'll find everything you need to know about Roblox, and all the information you need before you begin diving into the millions of community-created worlds that are available on the platform. Below we're going to cover what exactly Roblox is, how you can download it, tips on how you (and your kids) can stay safe on the service, and plenty more. Our Roblox guide is all about the basics, giving you the tools you need to get the most from a platform where you can be anything you can imagine.
The short answer is that Roblox is a whole world of fun and interaction. With countless games to explore and millions of users online at every moment of the day, there's always something interesting to do. One important thing to understand is that Roblox is not a game, like Minecraft, for example, which many Robloxers also enjoy playing. It's also not a metaverse like the one associated with Facebook, or an older version called Second Life that some of you may remember.
Instead, Roblox is a platform where games can be played, with meeting points where players can come together, and realms that can be explored. For that reason, there's far more to it than just being a game: it's a global community of players, rather like a real-life city where people meet to do various activities, whether solo or in groups.
No matter where you choose to play it, there is no Roblox price that you need to be aware of – it's free-to-play, so you don't need to spend any money to have a great time on the platform. Remember, if a third-party website is trying to charge you to gain access to the Roblox service it is unofficial and should be avoided at all costs. It's also worth remembering that Roblox promo codes can often be used to get free in-game items for your avatar.
