Roblox

Roblox is a social game platform from ROBLOX CORPORATION, published on Quest under Roblox, where you explore and share 3D experiences made by its community. Those experiences range from creative building and design to simulation and simple hangouts. It has been on the Meta Horizon Store since July 27, 2023.

How it plays

Rather than one game, Roblox is a huge library of experiences built by creators around the world, and the developer says it has more than 66 million daily active users. The examples it gives range from touring Mars or exploring the inside of a whale to designing buildings or fashion, or simply chatting with friends.

• A library of experiences that keeps growing as creators add more.
• Avatar customization with a large catalog of clothing and accessories.
• Cross-platform play with friends on computers, phones and consoles.

Multiplayer

Single-player, multiplayer and co-op are all listed. Because Roblox runs across platforms, people on Quest can join the same experiences as players on other devices.

Comfort

It supports sitting, standing or room-scale play, and it uses controllers. Each experience is made by a different creator, so how comfortable it feels varies a lot; our guide to motion sickness in VR can help if a game does not sit well.
