While I don’t play on Xbox, this would also prove to be beneficial for developers, since the ability to create private servers on Xbox would be another source of income for them. Support
Making joining private servers on Xbox easier is beneficial not only for making more money but also for testing. As a developer, easier testing of private servers would also be a plus. Another support from me!
I’m the PM working on Xbox, and just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback. Ill try to get through these threads one by one so that everyone gets the benefit of my answers, but from a big picture perspective, we are really looking into investing in improving Xbox this year, both from a performance and a usability perspective.
With regards to Private Servers: We are aware this is a huge user need. Currently we are limited in that server creation is a web page flow (which arent supported on Xbox). We are looking for solutions for this, though it is likely a ways out.
Hi, is there any update on this? Ever since Roblox became available on PlayStation, I’ve seen a huge increase in the number of console players to the point where they are consistently the largest platform for my game. However, the co-op feature I have is built around private servers, which console players cannot purchase, and this locks them out of the ability to create a custom lobby with their friends.
One way to get around this is to join our private server on an alt using a seperate device, and join the alt on Xbox/Playstation. Expecting your players to do this every time shouldn’t have to happen, and we should get an official solution sometime soon (2024 roadmap?)
With migration to the universal app on Xbox, private servers still don’t seem to be working. Is this intentional, or is this something to do with platform compliance?

It is 2024 and this bug is still present now on Playstation as well. It is annoying to have to join on an alt just to join a private server. Even with the new console app it is still present. Can we PLEASE get an update? Thanks.

its been 3 years and still hasnt been added yet.
i play with my xbox friend from time to time and sometimes people annoy us, but we cannot join a private server.
Would also like for them to add the feature of viewing & joining Roblox groups on console. Would like them to address the chat & private server features first though.
Half of my player base is on Xbox, I want them to be able to create private matches but pay a monthly VIP server fee. Right now the only solution I have is to charge a heavy up front fee with a gamepass for unlimited access to create private matches.
Bump! It should also include Playstation and Meta Quest on top of Xbox. Using an alt account or another friend on PC or mobile to join a private server is the only workaround at the moment
Noure hasn’t been on this forum in a year. I don’t think we will be getting any updates about this feature. May have to add this feature to the list of things console is never getting, just like the chat feature.
