How to Show FPS in Roblox
Source-checked · About 2 minutes
Answer
Join an experience in the Roblox desktop client and press Shift+F5 to show the debug stats summary, which includes FPS. Roblox's current diagnostic table lists Shift+Ctrl+F5 on Windows and Shift+Command+F5 on Mac for the full debug-stat shortcut set, so use the platform-specific combination if Shift+F5 alone does not open the summary. Roblox does not document a matching mobile control on this page.
Open the official Roblox desktop client on Windows or Mac and join the experience you want to measure. Wait until the scene has finished loading so the first loading frames do not become your only reading.
2
Open the debug stats summary
Press Shift+F5 while the experience has focus. If nothing appears, use Shift+Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Shift+Command+F5 on Mac, as listed in Roblox's current debug-stat table.
3
Create a comparable baseline
Stand still in a fully loaded area and leave the camera pointed at one scene for several seconds. Close unrelated downloads or recordings only if you intend to compare another reading under that same cleaner device state.
4
Read the FPS value
Find FPS in the debug stats overlay and watch it for several seconds while standing in the same area. The number is the frames the client is presenting each second; it can change as the scene and device workload change.
5
Verify with the same scene
Move to the exact area or action you want to test and observe the FPS again. Keep the camera position and activity consistent; a live value that changes with the scene confirms that the client is reporting frame rate.
6
Hide the diagnostic overlay
Press the same working shortcut again after recording the value. Confirm the debug statistics disappear and normal gameplay remains visible; no third-party FPS overlay or unlocker is required for this measurement.

If it does not work
If no overlay appears, click inside the Roblox experience first and retry the platform-specific shortcut. The shortcut applies to the Roblox client or a Studio playtest, not the Roblox website page in a browser.
If Shift+F5 does not show the summary, use the full combination in Roblox's current table: Shift+Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Shift+Command+F5 on Mac. Do not install an FPS unlocker or third-party overlay just to read Roblox's built-in value.
On a phone or tablet, do not guess at a menu path from these desktop steps. Roblox's cited FPS procedure documents a client keyboard shortcut, not a mobile control.
An FPS value below the cap is a measurement, not a diagnosis. Compare the same scene and device state before deciding that a graphics setting or the experience itself is responsible.
ⓘ Sources and verification
Checked against official documentation on . Scope: Roblox desktop client on Windows, Roblox desktop client on macOS.
Roblox's current documentation directly identifies the in-client debug stats summary as its FPS check. The documentation shows both a short Shift+F5 instruction and platform-specific debug-stat modifier combinations.
