Roblox usually updates automatically whenever you launch the application and try to play a game. Here’s how the auto-update process works:

  • Launch the Roblox website: Head over to Roblox’s official website and log in to your account.
  • Pick any game you want to play and click the “Play” button.
  • Instead of directly launching the game, Roblox might prompt you to update the app. Click the “Open Roblox” button.
  • The Roblox app will download and install the update automatically. Once finished, you’ll be able to play the game.

While Roblox updates itself, there might be instances where the game fails to update automatically. In these cases, you can manually update the game by following these steps:

  • Go to Roblox’s website and log in to your account.
  • Click on the gear icon in the top right corner to access the Settings menu.
  • Look for an “Update” option within the settings menu. If an update is available, you’ll see a button to download and install it.

If the above steps don’t work, you can try reinstalling Roblox.

  • The process varies depending on your operating system. Once you uninstall Roblox from your device, download a fresh version of Roblox player from their website.
  • Run the downloaded launcher and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall Roblox. Once installed, launch the application and try playing a game. This should prompt the latest update to download and install.
