Creating and Making Games Public

You may find that developing one game just isn't enough to satisfy your craving for creativity. Luckily, we can help! All users are able to build as many games as they want, though accounts are limited to 200 public games (able to be played by others) at any given time.

 

To Make a Game Public or Private:

There are two methods of making a game public or private.

Note: Making your game private will shut down any running games and cancel all VIP subscriptions.

Method one:

      1. Click Create in the blue bar at the top of the website
      2. In the My Creations tab, click Games if it isn't already highlighted
      3. Find the place you would like to make public/private and click the grey or green icon underneath the place's title to switch between the two statuses
        • Public (green icon) will allow any user to view and play the game

        • Private (grey icon) will prevent anyone other than you from being able to view or play the game, unless it's a group game, in which case only you and appointed developers (with the necessary rank with game edit permissions) will be able to play the game. For more information, please see the help article about Group Games.

Method two:

      1. Navigate to your game's page
      2. Click the three dots icon to pull up the game's settings menu
      3. Select Configure this Place or Configure this Game
      4. Regardless of which you select in the above step, on the screen that appears, navigate to the Basic Settings tab if it isn't already highlighted
      5. Under Privacy, select either Public or Private
        • Public will allow any user to view and play the game
        • Private will prevent anyone other than you from being able to view or play the game, unless it's a group game, in which case only you and appointed developers (with the necessary rank with game edit permissions) will be able to play the game. For more information, please see the help article about Group Games.

To Create a New Game:

    1. Click Create in the blue bar at the top of the website
    2. In the My Creations tab click Games if it isn't already highlighted
    3. Click Create New Game
    4. Choose the settings and templates for your new creation
    5. Click Create Game

This will take you back to the Create page you were at previously. You can go ahead and make the game public now, if you would like, or you can wait until you have done some work on it. To start building, click the Edit button to the right of your new game's entry in your Games list.

Note: You can create a new game at any time, but it cannot be enjoyed by other Roblox players until it is made public using the "Make Game Public" process.
