A private server is a subscription-based feature that allows a user to decide who can play an experience with them. While private servers can be free, you can also use private servers as a method of monetization by charging users who want to access private servers a monthly Robux fee.
Private servers offer users privacy in circumstances like:
- Playing experiences with their friends.
- Holding gatherings such as classes, meetings, or parties.
- Recording and/or streaming without other users.
- Gathering in-experience resources.
You cannot enable both Paid Access and private servers.
Players under the age of 13 may not be able to join private servers depending on their privacy and parental control settings.
Enabling Private Servers
Before you can enable private servers, your experience must be public to all users.
To create a private server:
Open Game Settings from the Home tab.
In the left-hand navigation, click Monetization.
Enable the Private Servers toggle. Additional settings appear for setting how to monetize private servers:
- Free — Click the Free radio button to make private servers free to all.
- Paid — Click the Paid radio button, then enter the amount of Robux you want users to pay to access the private server. The price you enter affects the amount of Robux you earn per sale.
Click the Save button.
Note that changing the price of private servers cancels all active subscriptions. Users who had active subscriptions automatically receive a private message in their inbox about this change.
