A private server is a subscription-based feature that allows a player to decide who can play a game with them. While private servers can be free, you can also use private servers as a method of monetization by charging players who want to access private servers a monthly Robux fee.
Private servers offer players privacy in circumstances like:
- Playing games with friends.
- Holding gatherings such as classes, meetings, or parties.
- Recording and/or streaming without other players.
- Gathering in-game resources.
You cannot enable paid access in Robux or paid access in local currency and private servers at the same time.
Players under the age of 13 may not be able to join private servers depending on their privacy and parental control settings.
Enable private servers
Before you can enable private servers, your game must be public.
To create a private server:
Navigate to the game's main page on the Creator Dashboard.
In the left-hand navigation, expand Audience and then click Access Settings.
Toggle on Allow private servers. Additional settings appear for setting how to monetize private servers:
- Enable Requires Robux and enter the amount of Robux you want players to pay to access private servers. The price you enter affects the amount of Robux you earn per sale.
- Disable Requires Robux to make private servers free to all.
Click the Save Changes button.
Changing the price of private servers cancels all active subscriptions. Players who had active subscriptions automatically receive a private message in their inbox about this change.
