A lot of people have been asking how to play or run Roblox on Chromebook, and if it’s even possible.
It seems most of these folk are from the Minecraft crowd, and I can see the relationship since both games are highly imaginative, yet different in their own ways.
It’s a very popular game that’s currently available on multiple platforms- PC, Mac, iOS, Xbox One, Android, and a few Amazon Devices.
You’re probably thinking:
- Why isn’t it available for Chrome OS?
- How do I play the game on a Chromebook?
This guide was written for people just like you and will answer all your questions.
Last updated: 3/6/23. Roblox is becoming more and more available on the Play Store.
What’s Roblox?
If you don’t know what Roblox is, it’s basically a community-driven virtual world.
It’s a user-generated MMO with a social aspect. It’s not the first of its kind, but it does have its own unique touch.
It’s like a mix between Minecraft and Second Life.
It’s heavily based on building, exploring, crafting, resource gathering, and also combat, to name a few.
There’s also an emphasis on character customization. You can dress your virtual character using different gear, clothing, hats, head shapes, and more. There’s also a trading system as well.
Compared to games like Minecraft, Roblox is much more social and is a social game. You can add friends, groups, and even get followers.
With Facebooks’ commitment to get everyone into the metaverse, this game is only growing in popularity. It’s been doing what FB wants to do.
For those who haven’t played this game in a while, it still has a huge player base. No worries.
Roblox does have a premium membership, which offers more features to paying players.
Roblox and Chrome OS
You probably already know about all that if you’re reading this guide.
Since Roblox is a very popular game, it makes sense that people want to play it on their Chromebook.
This guide will teach you a few methods to attempt to get it running on your laptop, but there are no guarantees. Some have had success making it work, others can’t even get the game to install.
There are few methods floating around on the ‘net that supposedly teach you how to run the game on a Chromebook, but I found most of them to be outdated and not working anymore. It’s a gray area
If you really like the game, I suggest you try out whatever you can to play the game.
After all, if you’re here you’re probably a hardcore fan, so try ’em out.
Then comes the main question – how do I run Roblox on Chromebook?
I’ve decided to scour the entire Interwebs to find a definite answer.
I found a whole bunch of guides, tutorials, and videos that promise they work, but they don’t according to the people who’ve tried them.
Then, I came to the conclusion that it’s not as easy as it sounds.
That’s probably what you didn’t want to hear.
But with the limitations of Chrome OS, that seems to be the case. Unless you’re very good with computers, you probably won’t be able to get it working.
However, it’s not impossible. There have been players who’ve gotten the game to work successfully. It’s all over YouTube and you can easily see it for yourself.
So, can you play Roblox on a Chromebook or not?
Yes, and no.
You probably don’t like this answer since now you’re probably confused, but let me explain.
Roblox can be run on Chromebooks, which runs Chrome OS, but only with a lot of hacking and tweaking. Even if you manage to get it to work, it’s not really playable since it’s super laggy and doesn’t run that well.
Here are some popular methods that people have used to run Roblox on their Chromebook (although they may not work as of now, you need to find an updated method that’s still practical):
1. Use Browserstack and emulate
Browserstack is basically a browser-testing utility for Chrome.
Using this, it’s possible to run Roblox, but it’s constantly being patched by Roblox themselves as they change the code of the game for security and such.
Even if you manage to get it to work, it’s still very lag-like and runs poorly on Chromebooks. You can still get this working, but it’s not really playable because of performance issues.
2. Use the Chrome Remote Access app
This is a method of using a Windows-based computer to run Roblox while you play from your Chromebook remotely.
You’ll have to use the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the Chrome Web Store.
This works, but you need to have a computer available and constantly online so you can connect to it on your Chromebook. This is only useful if you’re away at school or work.
Otherwise, you might as well just play on your Windows computer. The quality is decent, but there’s still lag issues.
Note that you’ll need to have a powerful Windows PC along with a fast internet connection to make the game playable.
Don’t know how to set it up? It’s pretty easy. I’ve written a tutorial that’ll guide you step-by-step on how you can easily set up a remote access connection on your Chromebook within minutes.
3. Use Crouton and install Linux
This is the most popular method by far, and from what I’ve read, it used to work.
You basically enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook and then install Crouton to allow a distro of Linux to be run on your laptop.
Then from here, you install Wine, which allows you to run Windows-based programs, and then from there, you can run .exe files (which allows you to run Roblox and install it).
This method worked with decent success, however, it seems that Roblox has also patched it or the game runs extremely slow and has some performance issues that make it unplayable.
If you want to try this method, I have an entire guide that’ll teach you how to Linux on your Chromebook step-by-step.
4. Use the Play Store version of Roblox
WOOT. I think we finally have a working method now that works for anyone with a newer Chromebook.
In case you didn’t know, Chrome OS is now capable of running Play Store apps. In other words, many Chromebook models can now run Android apps and games– including Roblox.
The update is commonly referred to as the “Play Store update” or the “Android app update” in the Chrome OS community. It’s slowly rolling out to more and more Chromebooks.
There’s only one issue: only select models will get the update.
As of now, more and more devices are able to directly install the game and run it through the Play Store setup. All Chromebooks made in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 and beyond should have the ability to install the game just like any other app and run it.
You literally just find it and then install it just like you would with other games. Getting it to run smoothly on your device is difficult if there’s a lot of characters on screen. So it depends on your WiFi speed, hardware, etc.
Your laptop will have to have the update installed to get the game to run
Here’s how to find out if your specific Chromebook will get the Android update:
- If you have an older Chromebook and you don’t have the update yet, you can check out this update schedule to see if and when you’re going to receive the update.
- If you have a newer Chromebook (made in 2017 and beyond), you likely already have the update pre-installed.
If you have an older laptop and it’s on the list to receive the update sometime in the future, you can easily force the Android update now so you don’t have to wait.
If you have a newer laptop you probably already have the update, so you can try this method right now and get your game on.
If you have the Play Store already installed
Then you’re pretty much good to go.
Doesn’t it just feel awesome?
You can install the game from here.
But there’s just one thing you should know:
The whole Play Store on Chrome OS thing is still very primitive.
It’s widely in beta testing and still undergoing a lot of development. There are a lot of apps and games that crash, freeze, lag, or simply don’t work or aren’t compatible on a Chromebook.
Remember, these Android apps were designed for a smartphone. You’re basically porting it over to a laptop. There’s going to be major hardware changes, so that’s why not everything will run smoothly.
Over time, the integration will improve. Google is working on it. So don’t be afraid if you can’t really play the game smoothly or if it has problems running. It should improve with time.
If you don’t have the Play Store update
Here’s how to play Roblox on your Chromebook using the Play Store:
Step 1: Launch the Play Store
If you don’t know how to access it, press the Launcher key (magnifying glass on your keyboard) and look for “Play Store” or simply search for it.
Again, if you don’t have access to it yet, you can force the update.
Step 2: Find the game
After the Play Store is open, go ahead and search for the game using the search box.
Or you can install the game directly from Google Play here.
Step 3: Download and install the game Roblox
You can install the game here, or you can go ahead do a search.
After you’ve found it, click the big “Install” button.
Roblox will then install onto your Chromebook. Sit tight.
Step 4: Launch the game
After it’s done installing, just launch Roblox and it should start.
Don’t expect the game to run smoothly
Depending on your Chromebook and the current version of the game, you may or may not be able to run it successfully.
Freezing, lagging, crashing, framerate drops, and even the game not starting are all common issues. If the game isn’t available for your device, you’ll have to sit tight and wait for an update.
Again, this is due to the fact that running these games on a Chromebook is still a work in progress. It should improve with updates.
If you have a newer laptop, it should be much better suited to run the game. Modern Chromebooks have better specs (processor, RAM, and storage) compared to older ones. They’ve come a long way.
A lot of newer ones also have touchscreens and the ability to convert into a tablet, which may make the game a lot more enjoyable since it was built for touchscreens on the Android version.
If you’re a hardcore fan of the game, you may want to take a look at the at a few of the best Chromebooks for gaming.
Update: In 2019, it seems like the Play Store version of Roblox is slowly rolling out to more people.
This is good, but the game is riddled with lag, cursor problems, and unmovable avatars. As the service gets better over time, we should start to see a working version of the game that’s compatible with Chrome OS! Right now, it’s easy to download the game, but playing it is a whole different story. But if you need to get your game on, why not just give it a try?
Update: In 2021, The game is easily accessible from the Play Store. If you still don’t have access to it, force the update and get it. Otherwise, you can still emulate the game, get it through Linux > Lutris, or set up a remote connection. You can run the game on your PC and play it through your Chromebook.
Can’t look around?
This is another common complaint about the game after downloading it. Some players have reported that they can’t look up and down, or sometimes side to side.
It’s as if the game doesn’t detect their mouse cursor so they can’t move.
I’m still collecting data on this as some people can play the game without any problems, while others are plagued by this input control problem.
If you download the app and you’re also unable to move or look around, please leave a comment detailing your Chromebook model. This will help find a solution!
Remember that the Play Store is still very much in beta, so we can’t expect a perfect transition! But I imagine that over time, this should improve and fix many of the input problems.
Getting the “not compatible with your device” or the “your device is not compatible with this version” errors?
Some readers have emailed me saying that they’re getting one of these errors when they try to look up the game and install it from the Play Store.
It seems to be a common issue for many readers trying to install the game from the Play Store.
It seems like for some people, they have no issue installing the game. Whereas for others, they aren’t able to add the game to their Chromebook from the Play Store because it throws an error that says it’s not “compatible” with their device. Another common error is “your device is not compatible with this version.”
Since the whole Play Store on a Chromebook integration is still a relatively new program (it’s still in beta testing), you shouldn’t expect it to work perfectly and be compatible with every single device. The platform is being improved and updated constantly so as time goes on more and more models should be added to the list of “compatible” devices for running the game.
With time, it should improve and eventually your device may get access to the game.
As Google improves the integration, we should expect a larger pool of devices to be able to run Roblox! We just need to be patient and give it more time to improve.
However, if you’re one of the few players that can download and install the game, be thankful (even if the game doesn’t run perfectly) as there are many who can’t. I expect with time the game should also improve and run a lot smoother on a laptop.
There are other methods- but they’re outdated
Besides these few methods, all other methods online seem to be pretty iffy or unworkable.
If you decide to use one of these methods to get Roblox up and running, be sure to do research on it and see if you find a working version that’s been updated and still works since most of them used to work, but not anymore.
Newer methods are constantly being found and released by the community.
So, you can run Roblox on Chromebooks, but…
Well, that’s why I said “yes and no.” Roblox can be run on Chromebooks, it’s definitely possible, but it requires hardcore tweaking and hacking only to end up with a result that’s laggy and semi-playable.
If you know what you’re doing, I say go for it. If you’re not sure what you’re doing and don’t want to risk screwing up your Chromebook, I’d say sit this one out.
Perhaps contact Roblox and ask them to make a version that runs with and is fully compatible with Chrome OS?
It’s a long shot, but many companies now are making their games compatible with cloud-based versions that run in the browser (also known as “lite” versions). Or if you really like Roblox enough, you can try whatever you can until you get it to work. Just understand that you may seriously mess up your Chromebook.
You can also try looking up guides on any of the methods above- but look for feedback or comments that prove the guide works.
Try video tutorials on YouTube, but be sure to find one that works by reading the comments and verifying that the method it worked for others (for example, like this video):
This method is probably outdated now and no longer works. But it did work at one time. You can try scouring the site for a working technique.
Did you get it working?
So, in essence, you can run Roblox on Chromebooks, but it’s not really that easy nor is it worth it if it’s slow, lags, and basically unplayable.
The choice is really up to you. If you decide to go with one of these, just do your research before you proceed.
Read articles. Watch YouTube videos. Proceed with caution.
For hardcore fans, you’ll have to do some research using the outlined methods and see what’s still working and what’s not.
At the moment, I couldn’t find any working guide on the web. Perhaps you may find one somewhere. If you do, please let me know.

how do you text on chromebook?
how do you text on chromebook?
You can use the website, but if your talking about in game chat then I don’t even know how to opperate roblox on chromebook.
I am on a google pixelbook (pretty new). I successfully downloaded roblox without any problems, but I have been having some issues in-game such as the chat not working or certain buttons not working with the cursor. Sometimes the cursor disappears and I have to use the touchscreen. I don’t have a mouse, maybe I should?
I was able to download the game and everything was working fine. But the only problem is that I’m not able to see the most clicky thingy. The only time I’m able to see it is when I go into the settings of the game. Do you have any idea on how you can fix this
reload the game
just turn on your mouse highlight in the settings. (Its in accessibility)

I did it through the play store and it worked! Here are a few cons, however:
-You can’t use shift lock since it’s the mobile version
-You have to actually click the chat bar to chat, which is really annoying for me since I’m used to playing on my hp laptop (Which is broken), so I’m used to just pressing slash.
-It lags a bit more than when I play on my HP laptop.
That’s about it. This guide really helps other people (I knew to get it from the play store}
it wont work for me! it just kicks me out. Any ideas?
It works smooth on some games so I am good! Thanks!
every time i try to play any games it always says “google chrome os can’t open this page”
that’s what it’s been saying the past 4 years

You can use the play store if you have an at-home chromebook.

If any idear to help will be good
i love unspeakable
FAke u guys dumb that not real unspeakable
it dosen’t work on my school computer
Hey there,
Yeah- school/work computers typically are enrolled into a local network (AKA “managed Chromebooks”) which disable features like Dev Mode amongst other functionalities. It really depends on how restrictive the settings are. If the school’s admin team prevents your device from being able to install apps or enter Developer Mode, then sadly there’s no way around it. You could try asking one of the admins to allow you access, but that’s up to them.
Let me know if you have any questions.
hi but thank you becuse at first i cant down load it but now it makes all sence
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
screw the admin
same here i cant even install it with the google play store becuse it says android devices only wich is really weird
Such annoyance, you can download from the play store but this is a mobile version so you cant use your mouse in games it SUCKS!
It worked! Thank you so much! I LOVE ROBLOX and I’ve always been wondering how to get it up and running. Thanks Again!

I dont know how to install roblox please help me please am using chromebook
its beacuase forgot something
when i try install it, it says that i have to install it to another device. im using a chromebook 11 btw
Hey Angry muffin,
Yeah, it seems to be only compatible with some Chromebooks, but not all. I think the Play Store does a check to see your specific model against a database to see which ones are actually compatible. My Acer 11 has the same problem, but my other device allows for the download (even though the game runs slowly).
Do you know which specific model you have? That way we have it for reference.
Thanks.
i cant get it installed i have a schools chromebook 🙁
Yeah, unfortunately, schools will use Chromebook enrollment, which blocks out most things you can do (like playing games on your system). Perhaps maybe when you get your own laptop? Always something to look forward to, right?
I want to play on a school Chromebook
same but is is my owned one but the school uses the same kind

I installed it and uninstalled it many times. The only problem is that it always says that Roblox keeps stopping. The only thing I can really do is close the app, go to app info, send feedback, or just simply delete the app. I need help please.
Hey there,
Hmm, does the game launch? Are you able to move around or play at all before it stops? Does it happen randomly, right away, or only during specific actions? Are you playing using the app from the Play Store?
Some People reported that they weren’t able to move around, but the game crashing sounds like another issue entirely. Anything you can provide helps.
Thanks.
how cares that’s stupid
wait i am sorry
do you forgive me???
E

thire am i
we are both have the same problems
The play store version works – but when I’m in first person, the cursor doesn’t lock. It moves even though I’m in first person, and fellow roblox plays know the cursor locks in place in first person. I play Arsenal a lot, which is played in first person. My cursor keeps moving, and when it moves to the edge, my character stops movings.
Oh yeah same for me. After a while you’ll get used to moving your mouse around the screen to continue looking
it happens to me too, and the right click on my touchpad is stuck and doesn’t work at all, so i can’t move the view. it sucks, it really does. i was so excited to play roblox when i got my laptop, but as soon as i tried downloading it and it didn’t work i was so disappointed. i’m sad.
well i got the app loaded but it just keeps saying validating for hours- its not really working i guess
error 17 how to get past this on crome book?
Hey guest,

Thanks.

i need help working it because its not working
ugly

Ey dont say that, even though i do only have one eye
you have 2
how to play
why is it so lagy?
Do you mean the Chromebook OS? if so it is lagy because, chrome books are for work or either, Roblox only allows PC or any laptop that has 8gigs or up if the laptop has less than 8 then you can’t play Roblox. I asked a BestBuy owner and he said the same thing. Might as well get a computer cheaper than a laptop. I wouldn’t install anything to play roblox cause they might hack your laptop.
shut up
How to play roblox on a school owned chromebook?????
You can’t :/ It’s disappointing to hear that but I have a school chrome book and I’m sure you can’t play Roblox on a school laptop because, you can’t play games on a school laptop. That doesn’t sound right maybe if it’s yours..
Yea i hate having to stay in the restrictions of school blockages
you open link in a google translate tab, so for example you search google translate and then paste the link for roblox, then you press enter and a pop up will come up like in the other translation from there, it will either open roblox or no, depends by the firewall on the school chromebook
~hacker

I play on Chromebook and its not that it’s laggy, Just that it takes time for it to load things. It ould be better but I am OK with playing it on Chromebook.
i really love this game and i even got an itunes card but i have the game on my phone but its not as good so once i read the part where its really laggy i dont know if its worth it….
I got this chromebook as a present and i want to use it for fun but i cant because of the stupid chrome OS rules , + i spend money and then i find out it doesn’t work . Hacking are you crazy , i cant do that . Is there another way
Try downloading it from the google play app
thank you so much , that helps me alot
the app should work fine its in the google play store but u need a google account
I feel so sorry 4 you.. You should have told ur parents who someone who can help you. I just bought a chrome book OS and it was horrible, basically my worst nightmare! I tried to join in Roblox to play Royal High School but it lagged soooo much I couldn’t deal with the lagging anymore so I told my mom and she took it back and got her money back in cash and got me a PC with 8 gigs. Also, you should have return it and got your money back. To late now.. Returns for laptops are in 8 days and this was 2 months ago so ya. I’m sorry that happened but maybe you can get another. I pray 4 you
there are a lot of flash game sites like newgrounds, cool math games WHICH DOES NOT HAVE MATH AT ALL its supposed to miss lead teachers and its really fun. I got my chrome book as a present too
Ok,I jaust need to learn how to find out how to make roblox work on it’s site and,meh
download the app from google play
didnt work for me . It said you have to connect to diffrent devises d:
i cant get it to work and i just bought robux to spice up my charecter and the game wont work
I just installed it from play store. Roblox glitches a lot and for the first few times… you cant even see yourself. But try for at least 4 times to play 1 game on there and then it works decently. Thank you for this information and please let us know if there is a way to get rid of these glitches!
Hey RandomGirl,
I’m glad you got it working after a few tries! As Chrome OS and the Play Store continue to evolve, I can only see Roblox being playable one day on the Chromebook.
If there’s any news regarding new developments, I’ll update the tutorial. Hopefully, something to make the gameplay smoother and get rid of some of those glitches you encountered.
Thanks.
I got my kids a chromebook for xmas and they’re driving me insane trying to play Roblox, but we keep getting the “chromebook os can’t open this page” pop-up. I honestly am about to return these laptops, too much of a mission. 🙁
You can just get the play store app on chromebook (its in settings) and then download roblox, it works for me and everybody else fine
Yes, That’s exactly what happens. You just have to rejoin a game about 4-5 times and it should be fine. Sometimes you can just join in once and wait and it would be fine.
SO U SAYING ROBLOX DON’T LAST TIME I CHECK IT DO
;-;
rip
Why don’t you just like, download the android app for it and play it?
It works. I can’t believe you’ve updated this to current year and don’t know that chrome OS supports the Play store and apps!
Yeah but my problem is that the only way to play games from the Play Store is by touchscreen but I would love to play by keyboard ;-;
No, You are wrong there. You just need to get a wireless mouse and play with the wasd keys and it will be fine. Plus all of the games do not require you to play it on touchscreen, Some of the other games I download from the google play store i can just use the keyboard and my mouse to play them.
I dont like this reading thing going on so not helpful XD and it doesnt show up for me when i do the thing in a video i watched :((((
..you know you can download it on google play right?, without hacking?
how
can yall help me get roblox through here cause I can’t get it on other sites please I would really apretioat it
is there any way to make Roblox think I am on a computer because you can not use the games that are only meant for the computer. I have a decent chrome book and it can definitely run those programs, but because I am using google play it is programmed for mobile and not computer Roblox games. But other then that this works smoothly, i have tested them all of them work for me except for the Linux one because the way to get Linux on the newer chrome books has changed and it is harder and no requiring a new software( which has lots of bugs/glitches). Thank you!
So, I did it all just fine. It worked. I went to play a game and IT’S NOT LAGGING!! I love this. Thank you for this tutorial.
Hey ItzMeMegan2,
I’m stoked you got Roblox working =]. And thanks for the kind words. This is why I write.
Let me know if you have any questions. And enjoy!
it runs fine i have the playstore version but it lags so much alot of the on a playstore is not ment to run on a laptop class gpu/cpu hardware there for it has to emulate it but i mean if only there was a way to run it on linux
Ok I can do the last one but how because my phone wont wake up.(its not dead)
So no way to trick Roblox into thinking you can run normal games? ***cursing in Russian***
I could not use any of them 🙁
Jesus ****, i made a bad choice buying an acer didnt i?
I bought a acer chromebook 15, and it is absolute TRASH with playing games, so i’ll say you made a bad choice.
🙂 Its a good thing I did’nt get an Acer, I wated one
No you didn’t. I have an Acer Chromebook 11 and it works just fine if you download it from the google play store.
B-O-ring
._. wow
MAKE HISTORY IM SORRY
Is this roblox? Bc i’m the best hacker JON DOE!!!!

please teach me how
how do I install wine on linux
Hey,
You can check out this tutorial on installing WINE.
It’s built for Path of Exile, but just skip to the WINE section and go from there.
Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.
I sucessfully installed wine, but how do I install a browser so I can actually play it?
Hey,
You can use WINE to directly install Roblox from their app database, though, the quality of the emulation is questionable. You can still give it a try! See this page for information:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9392
Thanks.
Hi

I really wish I could play it so I can make games!!! ALL I HAVE IS THIS DUMB CHROMEBOOK!
the flip
I will get Roblox on my chromebook……eventually….maybe in a year or so…..yeah idk
Hey,
Roblox should be integrated with the Google Play Store someday!
The whole platform is still very much primitive in its current state, but given the popularity of the game, it only makes sense to expand onto Chrome OS.
Some users have already had success installing the game (specific Chromebook models only), but it runs with a lot of bugs and glitches as of now. But at least they’re trying to improve it. Sit tight!
It’s not Easy Mr. Andy Z.!!!!!!!
it is not esy
ok nice
I checked to see if my chromebook version supported Google Play Store and it said it was planned. So then I went to Google Play store and tried to download Roblox. When I had to pick which to device to download it on, my chromebook wasn’t an option. I’m not sure what to do about this. ;/
Hey welp,
Sit tight. The Play Store is still in a beta phase and not everyone has full access to all the available apps yet.
As time goes on, it should readily become available to more and more Chromebook models. This is why some users can just download the game like an app whereas others get the “not compatible with your device” message.
I know- waiting is a pain. But eventually, we should see Roblox available to pretty much all supported devices =].
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
it doesnt work it said play in app when i pressed it said Chrome OS is not compatilble with roblox
Hey,
It’s possible that your specific Chromebook may not be compatible with the game. This is a gray area as some users can easily install the game while others can’t.
Some users can install and play the game, but most get the same “not compatible” message.
I suspect that this is because the Play Store integration is still in development and is still relatively new to Chrome OS and is in a beta phase. As time goes on and it improves, the game should be made available to more and more different models.
In the meantime, there’s not much you can do unless you want to mirror the game from another computer in order to play it on your Chromebook. However, give it some time and it should eventually roll out to your specific device!
Thanks.
It let’s me on and let’s me in the game but I can’t move around
Mine Said it can’t open this page,Is that good or bad?
Hey JaMeS,
What’s the exact error output you’re getting right now? Are you seeing it on your phone or Chromebook? Just provide some details and I’ll try to help you out!
Thanks.
chrome OS doesn’t want me to play roblox : (
I couldn’t get Wine to work. It just wouldn’t run roblox, though. It wouldn’t run anything.
Hey Beforkers,
Are you getting any errors thrown? Could you provide more details of the exact issue you’re having? I’ll see if can help you out!
Thanks.
hi its the devs and it worked for me
i dont really get it.
kiss your hand 5 times, repost , then look under you pillow!
dude wha not working I’d rather play on mobile
hi i have just bought a chromebook today & im trying to use roblox on play store but its saying i dont have any devices?? any ideas?? i have a ACER R11
Hey Debs,
Since the Play Store integration is still pretty new (it’s still in beta), not all devices are compatible with all Play Store apps yet.
Some users have reported that they can download and install the game without any issue while others are having the same problem as you. As the platform improves, it should be compatible with more devices over time.
As of now, there’s not much you can do without some tweaking to get around it- but even then it’s not guaranteed to work. If you really want to try getting the game to work, you may want to try installing Linux and then getting an Android emulator to run the game. You could also install it on a Windows computer and then remote access it from your Chromebook using Chrome Remote Desktop.
Here are some pages you may want to check out:
How to set up remote access on a Chromebook
How to install Linux on a Chromebook
It’s a pretty complicated process, but it all depends on how much you want to play the game!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
………..
does not work. It’s not on the play store for chromebooks!
Hey Trixie,
I’ve heard mixed reports about this issue.
It looks like some users can’t find the game on the Play Store while others have no problem finding it. Google must be rolling out the update slowly and not all Chromebooks have received it yet (as the whole “using the Play Store on a Chromebook” thing is still in beta).
If you can’t find the game, it may not be available for your specific device just yet! But sit tight.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
I downloaded the game from the app store, but my chareter does not move and my mouse does not apeer, if they fix that then playing roblox would be easy as pie
On ours it used to work better than this, but for the past week it works as you say. Something changed.
just go to menu then settings then movement mode then press on it then bring it back to keyboard then use wasd
ok
i installed ROBLOX on my Chromebook OS two months ago and work just fine! then when i opened ROBLOX and played a game my cursor would move but the ROBLOX cursor would not follow it like it always would. if you have any information on how to fix this please tell me.
I have this same issue and am unsure what to do about it. Alongside my sister. Very disappointing.
The problem with me is the the mouse is always stuck in the top left corner and cant move it if you any way to fix it i would really like to know.
DUDE SAME
Lulz, I’ve had the exact same problem. If I press > or <, it makes a dot appear above my character and I run to either direction
do you have any clue to hack a chromebook without access to developer mode or at least run an apk without it
Hey there,
As far as I know, there’s no way to get a Chromebook to run Developer Mode functions without actually enabling it.
Chrome OS is built solid for security and thus it’s very difficult to hack your way around it. If you’re locked out of Dev Mode because of a school or work network enrollment, it’s not possible to run APKs or run Dev Mode commands without getting permission.
You can check out this guide on Chromebook unenrollment, but Chrome OS is pretty much impossible to hack unless you have the privileges to do so.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
yes
I played roblox on my chromebook for about a month with lag. Last week I went to play roblox, chose my game but when i got into the game it would not work. My cursor was moving but the roblox cursor isnt following it. I cant click anything. I used my keyboard to get to the menu but that did no good. Please help me fix this
the same happened to me i just don’t know it just stopped working
It happens sometimes but there is a way to fix it!
its unread by me
I play ROBLOX on my HP Chromebook, and recently some kind of glitch happened. So I was playing yesterday and I realized when I was setting up my controls to Keyboard+Mouse so I can actually move that I couldn’t click, and my normal default mouse, And that if I click my Left Or Right Facing arrow keys ( ) That The buttons saying “reset Character” “Leave Game” Etc. Had Xbox Controls On them!! Like X, Y, A, Etc. Was next to them. And Now I can’t play, move, click, talk, anything. So now I have to play on my Horrible Phone Till I buy an Chip For my computer this month That Hopefully Works and doesn’t have the same glitch.. If you know how to fix it please Reply to this and help. Thank you.
Same for me! Looks like whatever change they made recently has hosed the mouse up for Chrome users. 🙁
Whenever i join a game my mouse freezes then when i press the ‘esc’ button on my keybored it’s stuck in the corner and it won’t move! Before it was working perfectly now it’s not. Please help!
Hey PysicoL,
I’ll look into this. Sit tight.
Thanks.
Did you find anything? As many others have reported, it used to work just fine but about a week ago the mouse cursor disappeared and the other control keys don’t do much. Then today the mouse is visible, but the character can’t be controlled. Thanks.
Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431
Hey MuffyLego2,
It’s gotta be something with the updates. Something was changed and broke the integration. I’m assuming they know about this and are working on a solution since the cursor is now appearing again.
Did Roblox have any major updates recently?
Keep reporting your issues here. It helps with the investigation =].
Thanks.
hi
It helps but doesn’t at the same time
hi
hi

heh my roblox just needed a update right now
it is easy on chromebook because there is a roblox app on google play and just download it on google play
I tried that, but it won’t let me download dat.
I’ve tried that but it just let’s me download it on my mom or dad’s phone from the computer
Hey, so I have the Samsung Chromebook 3. It was released last year in July… I got mine in august and i got the android update probably 2 weeks ago. I play roblox regularly on my families mac so i tried getting it on here to. It installed fine and launches games only to say that I cannot contact any servers…I tried restarting my chromebook, reinstalling the app, trying multiple different games but it refuses to actually connect…any thoughts?
Hey,
I’ll have to look into this. I’ll get back to you in a bit.
Sit tight.
Thanks.

Is their any likely chance that Roblox will run smoothly on a Chromebook? You see, I have a iPad but some games I cannot play on there that are on Roblox. Also, I have a Mac available in my house but I can only use it for a limited amount of time. (Once a month or so). So, since I’m getting my own Chromebook, I really hoped I could play a good amount of games on there. Could you help me?
Thanks.
Hey there,
It seems like people are getting mixed reviews about getting Roblox on their Chromebook!
The best and easiest method is to install Roblox from the Google Play Store. The only issue is that some people don’t have access to the game whereas other people do. This causes some major confusion.
Some people here seem to have Roblox running smoothly on their Chromebooks though!
If you plan to purchase a Chromebook just for Roblox and other games, I really suggest that you get one made in 2017 or newer. These models are all equipped with access to the Play Store, which means a better possibility of you having access to the game (let alone be compatible with it). Older Chromebooks are either hit-or-miss regarding Play Store integration.
Here are a few links you may find helpful:
Forcing the Play Store update on an older Chromebook
A list of the newest Chromebooks
A list of the best Chromebooks for Android apps
A list of some random Chrome games you may like
Play Store update
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks.
I sort of have my chromebook running roblox (with NO LAG) but my problem is the controls. When I try to make my character move (W to go forward for example) it doesn’t do anything. If somebody knows how to troubleshoot that plz tell me. Thanks!
(hint) download roblox on google play
In my chromebook, I did that
what do you mean? roblox can be downloaded from the play store and it runs smoothly on my chromebook!
when i click the download it says “You don’t have any devices”
Hey Tim,
It’s still rolling out slowly and your particular model may not be compatible yet.
The Play Store itself integrated on a Chromebook is still pretty primitive in general, so with time, it should slowly be more accessible. Only some users have had success with this technique so far. And it’s not many.
In the meantime, I’d just sit tight as there aren’t that many options to get the game running.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
Really? That’s not what happe bed with my chrome book
ur probably downloading it for another device
Andy? Can u plz try to make it suitable for Chromebooks? The first thing is i didn’t want to follow the method and I was worried it was gonna crash so can u and ur crew make a latest update on the Can you run Roblox on Chromebook? (Yes, but it’s not easy.) – 2018?
Hey there,
The easiest way right now is to either use the Play Store (assuming your Chromebook is compatible with Roblox).
Besides that, you can try remote accessing your Windows computer from your Chromebook. This is probably the only guaranteed method at the moment, but it does require a little bit of work to set it up.
You may also get some performance issues (lag, framerate drops, etc.), but that depends on how powerful your Windows computer is and how fast your Internet connection is as well.
Let me know if you need help on setting anything up =]!
Thanks.
i can 1 shot you all in phantomforces
you have to change your chrome os to beta and then the play store app appears
Haiii!! Well im a roblox player i was wonndering if this can work on chromebook for school
Hey there,
It depends if the Chromebook is enrolled in your school’s network, and if they’ve disabled the ability for you to install Play Store apps.
You could always give it a shot. See if you can find the Play Store and try installing it from there.
If not, you’ll have to switch your Chromebook to Developer Mode in order to force the Play Store update. This may be blocked by your school’s network. If it is, you’ll have to get permission from an authority in order for you do get the update.
You can read more about Chromebook enrollment if you’re still confused.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
currently doing option 2, im typing this from my dad’s computer, evven though i have a chromebook!
my windows is super laggy but i did option 2 and it worked perfectly! thaks!
Hey,
I’m glad it worked out for you =]!
Even with the lag, at least it worked. It should get better as Google improves the integration.
Thanks.
the windows computer is super old, but somehow running it with the option makes it go faster. I can now play Steam, Roblox, and other things that i previously couldn’t do on my chromebook.
Hey there,
That’s actually pretty awesome actually.
With a faster Windows setup, you could probably play it as if you’re playing it straight from the source! But oh well. At least you got it working =].
this is an outrage
why i dont know ow to do this and i dont even know how to sign into browserstack or something like that
ugh i would really in joy playing roblox but thanks anyways
Um… I already have a google device, my phone, which is attached to the account i have on my chrome book, and when i try to download roblox in google play, it says choose a device. The only device i can choose is my phone, and when i download it, it downloads on my phone, not my chrome book. How can I download the app on my chromeboo?? Pls help T.T
same thing is happening to me im so annoyed!
you have to go to the magnifying glass and there should be a circle playstore botton
where is it?
how do you move i tried the wasd buttons but that didnt work so i tried the arrow keys but that didnt work either
press esc and go to settings then go to movement and change it to keyboard and mouse
Very helpful! Thank you!
NO IT SAYS IN SETTING CANT GET IT
im too lazy to read it all
I used Play Store because there was no Google Store.
it dont work for me
Downloading it on play store was the only one I could do. It did work, but it acts like a mobile device, so sadly I can’t play “Theme Park Tycoon 2”. I tried to do “Murder Mystery 2” on it, and it worked! But it was very laggy. There was barely any sound effects, I couldn’t play my radio, and I couldn’t press “/” to chat. I had to press the chat button at the top, and I’m so used to pressing “/”. Hope Chromebook allows ROBLOX to be on it soon.
Hey there,
Yeah, I know what you mean. I had to force the update on my Acer CB3 and it was super buggy.
The whole integration between Chrome OS and Google Play is still very primitive (hence why it’s in beta and not available for a lot of older devices still). There are tons of bugs, performance issues, and glitches.
Google is continuously working on this, so it should improve with future updates. I’d assume Roblox would also strive to improve their game support for Android/Chrome OS as well, as there’s definitely a whole audience that want to play the game on a Chromebook.
Either way, I’ll update this guide when a major update rolls out.
Thanks for your comment. At least you got a little taste of the game =].
Can you make this work on a school Chromebook? I died laughing when i thought i ****** up my Chromebook doing the developer mode thing turns out its fine and i cant download the apps
Hey,
Yeah, it can pretty scary if it’s your first time messing around with Dev Mode. But it’s easy to reset it by doing a Powerwash.
If your school has disabled the ability to install apps, you’ll have a tough time trying to get the game working (let alone even on a non-school laptop).
Chrome OS has a bulletproof enrollment mode which makes it very difficult to do anything beyond what your school’s IT team allows.
Let me know if you have any other questions =].
Thanks.
It may not be possible to run a good version on your chromebook, but you can still get the mobile version from the google play store!
Yay, roblox doesn’t work. Woohoo. Totally not dying on the inside. ;-;
*has autistic mental breakdown* *takes moment to think about life* *realizes life suks*
LIFE IS A LIE! WE’RE ALL FIGMENTS OF OUR OWN IMAGINATION! THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM- *cuts off weiner* *Jumps out window*
Lulz.
Ikr. I got a chromebook for christmas so i could finally play with my brother, and now we are both super disappointed that we can’t play! At least we still have a Mac.
same but we have 2 good computers that we use the chrome remote desktop on so we can play roblox
UR BILL CYPHER AHHH
Just get a fricking 1000 fps computer!!!!!!!!!
“1000 fps”
‘-‘
btw, does anyone know how to deinstall this?
my sister wont let me play on her PC so i tried on my chrome book and i just crashed it.I COULD PLAY ON MY CHROMEBOOK FOR THREE WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i nearly died
*couldn’t
Aww…
I should’ve gotten a Windows computer now that I think of it…
At least you tried to help but thank you…
Hey,
No problem. With the popularity of these laptops, they may just expand the game to be compatible with Chromebooks some day. It’s a growing market that can’t be ignored. It should be in their best interest to make the game as universal across all platforms as possible.
Or, there may be a hack or method to get the game running via Linux or some emulator. Chrome OS is constantly evolving. We may find some way to play Roblox on it eventually.
But regardless, thanks for your comment. I’ll stay on the lookout for any working techniques in the meantime and I’ll keep this guide updated =.
WHY NONE OF THESE DARN DUMB HACK THINGS DIDN’T WORK ;-;
Hey there,
As stated in the article, getting this game to run on Chrome OS is pretty difficult and may not work. It used to work well, but after many updates, it’s now hard to get it running unless you’re good with technicals.
These were methods that worked at one point, but may no longer work anymore without some screwing around with code and probably installing Linux as well.
Take these techniques as ideas and suggestions.
If you happen to find a working method, please post it here. I’ll be on the lookout as well.
Thanks.
Soo I got a critical update that allows me to play google play games and I got roblox. But then…..IT LET ME JOIN GAMES BUT I COULDNT MOVE XDD
That must’ve been the Play Store update.
It’s still pretty buggy right now and it’s under development.
Google is constantly improving it to offer better integration between Chrome OS and the Play Store apps.
But hey, at least you got the update- a lot of users don’t have access to it yet.
Perhaps in the next update, it’ll get fixed. Still a step forward though =].
Thanks for the comment.
hello does it work on a school chromebook im frome clayton mill creek east do you know if it works
hey please dont reveal personal info. people could try and find you
i messd up my chromebook and lost all my data idk what type of chromebook it is option one dont work i am gonna try two and 3 messd up my chromebook

id say that its not worth all th trouble cuz yu woul ned hacking skills and be ble to tweak anything, and all for just a laggy almost frozen game? its not worth it, once you save up, g tn xbox or a desk top, you are for sure to play on there 🙂
hi
jello sup
The Bruh’s are real! HAHAHAHHAH
What about the Play Store? My chromebook has beta Play Store.
Hey,
If the game is available via Google Play, definitely give it a shot. If it happens to work, that’d be amazing since you could skip all the setup and just launch it!
If it happens to work for you, please feel free to let us know.
Thanks for the suggestion.
This works on my Chromebook Pixel 2. See here for instructions. Only some Chromebooks run the Google Play Store for Android today but lots are planned. The link has a list.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out!
Google Play works on my Acer Chromebook from school. 😀
Awesome.
That’s the best of both worlds- the Chrome Web Store and Play Store all on one platform. Apps galore.
Woot.
so you can’s get on roblox with out 1. screwing up your chrome book 2. very laggy 3. if you do manage to get on will it save to that account so when you do get a computer compatible with roblox you can save that file ( unless you want to start over)
IT DON-SENT WORK
u dont haf to play it on chromebook i just play it on computer
Can I have some help to get Roblox on my chromebook please?
Roblox isn’t a kids version of Minecraft and Minecraft’s for kids so get your facts straight, please
Hey,
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve rephrased my opinion after doing some reading about the game.
it can be for adults too soo… :/
i disagree,adults play minecraft too
ITS NOT WORKIIIIIIING I CRIED ALL DAY BECAUSE THIS REALLY DID GET MY HOPES UP TO BE ABLE TO PLAY ROBLOX ON MY BRAND NEW CHROME OS 🙁
Hey,
Yes, unfortunately Chrome OS doesn’t play well with many apps and games we’re used to on Windows/Mac.
So that’s why we have to use these workarounds to get them working, and sometimes they don’t work. Some may have success and others won’t. It really depends on how well you can tweak Chrome OS. If any method is found that works for the general public, I’ll update this list.
well at least you understand the PAIN!
Same but not crying just mad
lol boi just get a freken real compute not some crome-book buy a freken dell or if u dont have a lot of money an hp or if u do have a lot of mony a mac
some people cant afford a real computer or pc/mac… :/
Nice English. You sure sound autistic.
mean dud some ppl r kids and hav chromebook my dad shut wifi off on my computer not chromebook so
Some people can’t afford a pc/mac the chromebook is for kids and people who dont do gaming.
Mac’s don’t work well with roblox or most games. Extremely laggy, and are difficult to record things on. Use either a real gaming computer or an up to date computer to play roblox or any other game. Have a nice day!
but aint u on a crhome book dumass
I feel the same way,Ellie X
really i havent tried
Ikr! I got soooo happy and it didnt work 🙁
IKR! My last computer that had all these games I paid for broke so towards the end of the year I got a Chromebook and signed in, to find out ” these apps are not compatible with your device,” Mad and sad right now
Hey Let me know when u can because a little gurl wants to play:D
Hi,
At the moment there’s no exact method to get it working, but if you try all of these you may end up getting a winner =].
can U jus giv me a easy way
ljaz, he said there’s no exact method, meaning there isn’t an “easy” or fast “way”, or even a determined way to do it yet.
