Always download Roblox from an official source: roblox.com or your device's official app store. Anywhere else is a security risk and may install malware.
Windows and Mac
- Open roblox.com and sign in (create an account first if needed).
- Click Play on any game.
- The site will prompt you to install Roblox — accept the download.
- Run the installer. The Roblox player installs and launches automatically.
iPhone and iPad
Open the App Store, search for "Roblox", and install the official app published by Roblox Corporation.
Android
Open the Google Play Store, search for Roblox, and install the official app. Avoid "modded" APK files from websites — they almost always contain malware or steal your account.
Xbox and PlayStation
Open the Microsoft Store (Xbox) or PlayStation Store, search for Roblox, and download it. The console version requires you to sign in with your Roblox account.
Meta Quest
Search the Meta Quest store for Roblox. The VR version supports many — but not all — Roblox games.
Common mistakes
- Downloading Roblox from third-party websites or YouTube descriptions — these are almost always malicious.
- Installing a Roblox "mod" — there is no official mod and any such file is unsafe.
