Want to play Roblox on Switch? Your search for a step by step guide on how to play Roblox on your Switch console ends here. While it’s true that an official app for Roblox is not currently available on the eStore and we are also unsure if or when exactly will Roblox release on Switch, our team did some creative search and figured out a way to run Roblox on Nintendo Switch. The Roblox community has tones of games of choose from. Fans made games put up on the Roblox community are accessible across all platforms including Android, iOS, PC and even Xbox One. Here’s what seems to be the easiest way for playing Roblox on Switch:
Get Yourself a Roblox Account on Switch
- If you haven’t signed up for Roblox already, head to the official Roblox website from the web browser that came installed on your Switch.
- Already have a Roblox account? You can use the same Roblox account to sign in on any platform and pick up right where you left off. Roblox is one of the few games supporting cross-platform progress sync and multiplayer.
- While setting up your account, you might want to be extra clever while entering your birthdate. If you are underage, you won’t be able to access all the games on the community. Some of the fan made games have an age restriction and while you are about to game, an error message that reminds you of your age is the last thing you want.

After you successfully sign up for your Roblox account, you can either choose to jump right into the game or do some identity verifications with your email address and phone number. Verifying your identity will help you get back to your account quickly if you happen to lose your login credentials.

Installing Android to Run Roblox on Switch
What if your Switch ran on Android? Wouldn’t it be a cakewalk to simply download Roblox from the PlayStore? That’s your answer! If you really wish to play Roblox on Switch, you will need to load Android operating system alongside your Switch’s native operating system (like dual boot on PCs). Modders from XDA Developers have successfully loaded Android into a Switch console and while the performance isn’t all that great, you might want to give it a try. Keep in mind that Android on Switch is in a very primitive stage and if you decide to go ahead and just install it, be prepared to run into unexpected errors.

The Roblox Breakdown
Roblox was released in 2006 and is currently available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile. In 2020, the game had about 150 million players, and those players spent $920 million dollars over the course of last year. After going public earlier this year, Roblox has seen a surge in its stock as well as the massively expanded player base.

The Short Answer
Roblox On Nintendo Switch Release Date
As far as anyone knows so far, the answer is 'no.'
The game has been available since 2006, and the developers have made no move to port it to either the PlayStations 4 or 5 or the Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite. While dedicated PS4 users can certainly head to the Roblox website in their PlayStation's browser, it isn't quite the same as having a dedicated app. Also, the Nintendo Switch doesn't have a browser that players are supposed to be able to access; there are some workarounds for this, but again, a dedicated Switch Roblox game would be better quality and easier to use.
However, considering that Roblox is played by about half of all children in the United States, the Roblox Corporation really doesn't have to expand. While porting the game to the Nintendo Switch or the PlayStation may add more user accounts, the limited number of platforms most likely keep port-specific bugs to a minimum. And it's hard to argue with its success; even while keeping the platforms to a limited number, Roblox has been raking in both users and cash.
Could it Happen?

However, there is a possibility that the game could come to Nintendo Switch in the future. Although most users who are looking for a portable experience can just play on their phones, the Switch would offer a more dedicated experience. Roblox could expand to the Switch, giving Nintendo more of the family-friendly content it's known for while upping its user count for the game.
But perhaps with the already staggering 150 million users a month on Roblox, making the move to Nintendo Switch is more than the development team can handle. However, the possibility of port isn't without hope.
Roblox is available on mobile, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
