The ridiculously popular game Roblox has officially come to the world of VR with a native app for Meta Quest.
In order to install Roblox on your Meta Quest you’ll need to ensure your headset has the latest software update and then open the Quest Store and search for “Roblox”.
You can also install it remotely to your headset via the Meta Quest app on your iOS or Android device or through a browser via this link.
Logging into Roblox on Meta Quest
In order to play Roblox on your headset you’ll need to sign into your account using the Quick Login option. To do this you first need to be logged into Roblox on your phone or computer.
When you click “Quick Login” in Roblox on your Meta Quest you’ll get a code that you’ll then have to enter on your logged in game on your phone or computer by going to Settings > Quick Login.
Yes, this means you’ll need to remove the headset to use your other device while logging in, which is a bit of a hassle.
It should also be noted that only accounts set for 13 and up are supported.
Playing Roblox in VR
The experience of playing Roblox on the Meta Quest is pretty easy to manage for the most part, but the controls can be tricky when playing more complicated games.
Most Roblox games are available to play and only a few we tried were unsupported. As more developers optimize their existing experiences or build new experiences the selection will only get better.
For a game that’s made to look old and blocky, it’s surprising nice to look at in VR and got us interested in playing the game more.
Meta Quest 3
Roblox arrived after the Meta Quest 3 was announced on September 27. The latest headset is touted as “the world’s first mass-market mixed reality headset”. Besides being a dig at Apple’s delayed Vision Pro headset, this means you can incorporate the real world while wearing it if you want.
One example Meta gave of how this could work was the ability to play a virtual piano on your coffee table. This opens up a whole new experience on the Meta Quest that has potential of making something like Roblox more exciting to play if they incorporate the feature into the game down the road.
The Meta Quest 3 is $649.99 for the 128GB model and $849.99 for the 512GB model. You can pre-order it now at meta.com.
