Howdy Developers,
We recently made some improvements to game search ranking, added a new Recommended For You sort, and our quest to improve game discoverability and engagement continues!
Private Servers
VIP Servers? Never heard of them. Private Servers are my new BFF.
You may have noticed that VIP Servers are now called " Private Servers ." This simple, but impactful name change comes as a result of the feedback we received from developers who wanted to give players the ability to make free, private servers. We hope this makes it easier for friends to play together, no matter where they are!
You can read more about free Private Servers over on our official blog!
We also launched a new event space called the Party Place (it has lights, swag, and even a lazy river)! Create your own Private Server and go party with your pals!
New Sorts Order
Weâve also re-organized the order of some of the sorts to help refresh the menu of games that players see when they first land on the games page.
Hereâs the new top 10 sorts order:

By the way, we updated the Play Together Sort to only contain games with FREE Private Servers, thatâs right itâs FREEEE!! If your game fits the bill, submit an application to get featured here! (Please make sure to read the criteria for the sort in the article below!)
Weâre also accepting game submissions for other special game sorts like Learn & Explore and Rthro . Read more about these sorts and see how to submit on our Special Game Sorts article: Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
More to Come
Our quest doesnât end thereâwe have even more updates and experiments on the way! Some of the experiments may seem strange at first, and may not stick around past the initial test phase, so please hang tight while we work towards future improvements. Our hope is that these experiments will move us towards bettering the experience of discovering and engaging with games!
Thank you~
