Where you can play Roblox: the list of devices and stores that work
Beyond phone, computer and console, Roblox reached the Samsung store and the Xbox Ally handhelds. Before that came Meta Quest and the full catalogue on PlayStation. Here is the map of where the platform runs today and what changes in each place.

People who play Roblox on a phone tend to think phone, computer and console is the whole list. It is not. The platform has been spreading across stores and devices that are not on the obvious path, and it is quite possible it runs on something you already have at home.
This piece has the map of what exists, with the date of each arrival, and helps you choose where to play what — because the experience is not the same at the two ends of that list.
The short answer
The most recent additions to the map were two: the Samsung Galaxy Store and the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds, where Roblox runs natively.
Arriving in the Samsung store means being able to install and reach Roblox straight from Galaxy phones and tablets, through the brand's own store, instead of depending only on the system's standard store.
Before that, in 2023, came two big arrivals: Meta Quest, the virtual reality headset, and the full catalogue of experiences on PlayStation — not a selection, the whole catalogue.
Add that to what already existed — phone, tablet, computer — and Roblox has become a platform that crosses very different kinds of device.
The stated reason for the expansion is a business target: the company says publicly that it wants to capture 10 per cent of the gaming market, and reaching more devices is part of that.
How to choose where to play
The same game does not perform the same everywhere, and the right choice depends on what you play.
Competitive aiming games. Prefer a computer or a console controller. Pointing precision on a touchscreen is the ceiling that holds a lot of people back in shooters, and it is not skill — it is the device.
Building games and games with a busy interface. Computer. Screens with many buttons were designed for a mouse first, and on a phone they get cramped.
Social games, for talking and wandering. A phone is fine, and it is where most people are anyway.
Visually heavy games. Console, computer or a dedicated handheld. An entry-level phone struggles, and the sign of it is the game stuttering when the server fills.
One tip worth more than the device choice: join the same game on two different devices before deciding. Progress belongs to the account, not the device, so you lose nothing by testing.
The map of devices and stores
The table gathers where the platform runs and since when each arrival was announced.
Notice that two rows of the table are stores, not devices. That matters: the same account and the same game, installed from different stores, are still the same thing. What changes is where you download from and where the billing goes, not the game.
The catches
Availability varies by country. A platform arriving does not always happen worldwide at the same time. If the app does not appear in your device's store, it may be your region rather than your device.
Not every Roblox game is ready for every device. The creator chooses which device types the game supports. A game built only for computers may not open on a phone, and that is not a platform fault.
Virtual reality is not the same experience. Playing on Meta Quest is a different kind of game, not the same game made bigger. Not every title was built with it in mind.
A handheld is not a console. The Xbox Ally devices are handhelds, and Roblox runs on them natively. That is not the same as Roblox running on a desktop Xbox, which is another story.
Billing follows the store. If you buy Robux through one store and then switch devices, the balance stays with the account. But subscriptions and payment methods follow the rules of the store you signed up through, and cancelling may mean going back there.
There is only one account. There is no separate account per device, and creating a new one for the console is the mistake that makes somebody lose their own progress.
What to do next
If you only play on a phone and have a computer at home, it is worth trying one of your usual games on it. The difference in aiming games and building games is usually big enough to change what you play.
If you have a Galaxy, you can install it from the Samsung store. The practical advantage is having the installation and the updates in the same place as the rest of the brand's apps.
And if your question was whether progress follows you, the answer is yes: progress belongs to the account. Sign in with the same login and everything is there — what changes from device to device is the controller and the screen, not your game.
One reading that helps you see where this goes. The direction the company describes is Roblox ceasing to be an app you open on a device and becoming something that travels with the person between devices: start on the phone, continue on the computer, finish on the console, restarting nothing. Within that logic, each new arrival — a store, a handheld, a headset — is less a launch and more one more point on the same network.
For players, the practical consequence is simple and worth repeating: do not treat a device as a category. Treat it as a place. The aiming game you gave up on because "you cannot do it on a phone" may be the same game you are good at with a controller in your hands, and the account is the same. Testing costs the time of one login.
And if you look after a younger person's account, remember that parental controls apply to the account, not the device. Setting them in one place applies everywhere — which also means switching devices is not a way to escape them.
Finally, if you play in more than one place, take care with the password: more connected devices means more surface for someone to get in. Switch on two-step verification before spreading your login across three devices, not afterwards.
