Enable Private Servers for Your Roblox Experience

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

In Roblox Studio, make the experience public, then open File > Experience Settings > Monetization, turn on Private Servers, choose Free or Paid, and save. Private servers are subscription-based, users under 13 may be limited by privacy settings, and changing a paid price cancels active subscriptions.

Confirm the experience is public

Open the experience in Roblox Studio and confirm it is public to all users before enabling private servers. Roblox Creator Hub states that a non-public experience cannot enable the feature.

Open Experience Settings

In Studio, choose File > Experience Settings. Use the experience you own or are authorized to manage, not a copied project or an unrelated place.

Open Monetization

Select Monetization in the left navigation and locate Private Servers. Read the current settings before changing price, access, or other experience monetization controls.

Enable Private Servers

Turn on the Private Servers toggle. Additional controls appear only after the feature is enabled for an eligible public experience.

Choose free or paid access

Choose Free for no Robux subscription or Paid and enter the intended Robux price. Do not claim that all players can join because privacy and parental controls can limit some accounts.

Save and test safely

Click Save, then test the player-facing flow with a suitable account before announcing it. If you change the price of a paid private server, Roblox says active subscriptions are cancelled and users receive a private message.

If it does not work

  • If the Private Servers toggle is unavailable, verify that the experience is public and that you have the required Studio permissions before changing unrelated experience settings.
  • If a player under 13 cannot join, review Roblox privacy and parental-control eligibility rather than weakening account protections or changing the server price.
