Sunsetting Studio support for Windows 7, 8.1, and MacOS 10.13

Update January 8, 2025 [quote=“Roblox, post:212, topic:3312418, full:true"] In addition to requiring Windows users to use Windows 10 or higher to use Roblox Studio, we’re also increasing the requirement for Mac users to use OS 10.14 instead of 10.13. This change will go into effect on March 20, 2025. [/quote] Hi Creators, As we mentioned in last week’s Creator Roadmap update, we will sunset Studio support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Starting on March 20, 2025, you must upgrade to Windows …

Ah yes, splitscreen in VR. What percentage of this post is AI?

[Fraiixen (RobloxSilencedMe)]

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a recipe for making vanilla ice cream.

[ScrollFrameRotation (BannedFromTheDevFrm)]

first of all, i aint readin allat. first of all, what. fourth of all, huh.

lets highlight the nonsense of this

@Meanwhile

Ability to use independent fingers on the touchscreen to rotate the camera

@Meanwhile

Reduce the cost of the 2025 tariff

@Meanwhile

Save money on purchases for devices, monitors, peripherals, headsets, cameras, batteries, and carbon tax

@Meanwhile

Console Play:
Player 1 can use the keyboard for a seamless gameplay experience!

@Jintenzo

splitscreen in VR

did you use a 10 year old AI model to make this?

[Clxzed]

Every time I see an AI-generated slop, it reminds me of why we need to pay artists better.

[VSCPlays (Void)]

I appreciate that you used my my 1 year old module that I barely maintain, but

@Meanwhile

VR

Why do we need splitscreen in VR? Can’t you just remove Splitscreen support for VR?

also people have been saying that this post is mostly AI.

@Meanwhile

PC, Laptop, iMac

Aren’t PCs, Laptops and iMacs basically the same thing? You could’ve used PC (Windows, Mac) like how you did this:

@Meanwhile

consoles (PlayStation, Xbox)

This isn’t the best, but I can’t tell you to fix it, because it is more of an issue in roblox’s end

and looking at the code… I don’t program often, but I don’t really like what I am seeing here… (i opened the uncopylocked placed linked in this post)

--Put this inside of 'ServerScriptService'.
--Workspace works as well, but I'd recommend the above.

--This will change all player's characters into R6 1.0.
--You can either modify this script or use another script to change the player's 'package'.
script:WaitForChild("R6 Camera").Parent = game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts
script:WaitForChild("R6").Parent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
	p.CharacterAdded:connect(function(c)
		if not p.Character:FindFirstChild("R6") then
			game.Workspace:WaitForChild(p.Name)
			local r = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("R6"):Clone()
			r.Name = p.Name
			r.Parent = game.Workspace
			r.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			r:WaitForChild("Body Colors")
			c:WaitForChild("Body Colors")
			local b1 = r["Body Colors"]
			local b2 = c["Body Colors"]
			b1.HeadColor = b2.HeadColor
			b1.LeftArmColor = b2.LeftArmColor
			b1.LeftLegColor = b2.LeftLegColor
			b1.RightArmColor = b2.RightArmColor
			b1.RightLegColor = b2.RightLegColor
			b1.TorsoColor = b2.TorsoColor
			r:WaitForChild("Head"):WaitForChild("face").Texture = c.Head.face.Texture
			for _,h in pairs(c:GetChildren()) do
				if h.ClassName == "Accessory" or h.ClassName == "Hat" or h.ClassName == "Shirt" or h.ClassName == "Pants" or h.ClassName == "Shirt Graphic" then
					h.Parent = game.Workspace
					h.Parent = r
				end
			end
			c:Destroy()
			p.Character = r
			wait()
			p.Character:WaitForChild("Animate").Disabled = false
		end
	end)
end)

Place this in Help and Feedback or something. Community resources is where you share modules with other developers, not share your creations.

I tried the keyboard on the mobile Roblox Player, but only the mouse worked. A keyboard feature may be released in 2026.

The issue could be linked to the keyboard.characterMap firing a Focused() event in the Android or iOS keyboard.buildIn in the hid-input; I have limited knowledge of the SDK and API.

I decided to drop the multi-monitor feature due to potential unfair use.

Should I also remove the independent control feature for 2 players in my Project Duad (pre-alpha)? Thanks for your review!

• Yes, remove it
• No, keep it

[Meanwhile (Meanwhile_Official)]

Dear creators,

I’m making “limited character movement” for player 1, similar to my other projects

I wish you the best of luck

Playtesters,

Since its post-release, it has made more than 3,000 visits, and now it’s open to the general Roblox audience worldwide!

I’ve been wondering if Roblox will make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. As of now, there aren’t any official announcements

I’m planning ahead to port Project Duo on the latest gen consoles, PlayStation 6 and Xbox (5th gen). I am guessing it is expected to be announced by 2027.

[deaconstjohn03 (Colorato)]

@Meanwhile

PlayStation 6

the WHAT

@Meanwhile

Older gen consoles like PS3’s, Xbox 360’s nor Wii’s controllers do not support Project Duo on PC platform

i dont think the PS3 and WII have roblox on their platforms(?)

[Meanwhile (Meanwhile_Official)]

Hi everyone,

We’ve hit an incredible milestone—over 10,000 visits! I’m presenting the new multiplayer 2-player online feature! It brings back such nostalgia, the good old days of gaming on guest accounts.

Enjoy!

[ScrollFrameRotation (BannedFromTheDevFrm)]

Hey Meanwhile! I’m just wondering when we’ll get Gameboy Color support for Project Duo? Would be nice to see a Sega Genisis port too.

[BYT3XX_13373 (Bytex)]

I think it’s better to say 5 years

[Jopio0819 (Jopio_Playz)]

Same here!
Would also love to have support for the GameBoy color!
I’m really wanting to play my roblox game with my friends on my gameboy!

[Meanwhile (Meanwhile_Official)]

Hi everyone,

I planned my new PC upgrade in advance in the pre-production phase of Project Duo 2.0 to address negative feedback on devices.

Version 2.0 will present many improvements to the user interface and performance.

1. The main opening part of the platform section would add the 2D game feature on top of the player 1 screen to look for the missing player

2. Redesigned Suggestive Theme: The theme updated the same look to players, a new sightseeing experience from the top of the lobby to the hidden caves, ruins, and structures.

3. Player 2 Button Prompt: An updated prompt now appears when players are not moving. This feature helps players reload the button and regain control of the user interface efficiently.

4. Faster Re-rendering: We have minimized the map rendering process, resulting in faster load times and navigation.

Maybe we will have multi-touch support in the near future. Because it was hard for many device users who wouldn’t try my split-screen game at half the framerate.

What do you think of version 2.0?

Thank you for playing Project Duo 1.x

[Jopio0819 (Jopio_Playz)]

Hi, are you sure the new version will work with the Xbox 6, iphone 18 & playstation 7?
I’m just really wanting to know, to make sure it will work in the future.
Thanks!

[CircDev (Circuits_Games)]

hey, I’m currently having issues with this version on Windows 95, please add support soon!

[Meanwhile (Meanwhile_Official)]

Hi playtesters,

I made another post for the next a Project Duo 2.0 - Dual Play! Looking forward to your discussion there:

Project Duo 2.0 - Dual Play! (Need Feedbacks)

Hello Roblox Community, I made Project Duo. A split-screen world for watching and playing in a single game match. It features two gameplay sessions: the first is a co-op multiplayer sword-fighting game, and the second level offers an obby for mobile and low-end users, as well as a lava section for current-gen devices. The game has already gained over 20k visits in its first month of post-launch. Project Duo 2.0 - Dual Play! (Upgrade) future development plans: Vertical split-screen 2D-like ca…

[Meanwhile (Meanwhile_Official)]

It’s interesting how the Celeron series CPU, which debuted alongside Windows 98, has evolved to an ARM64

I’m also quite impressed by the optimization I achieved—increased the framerate by 20% with PostSimulation in ViewPortFrame in Studio for a budget-friendly device like the Celeron tablet when in Studio edit mode. It’s remarkable to see that I managed to hit 2k views with 20,000 visits in just a month! I wonder how far we can push low-end devices with x86-64 architecture, especially with Project Duo 1.x supporting current-gen Celeron with a splitscreen after the general release

I’m considering looking into my other projects too, like Project Duo 2.0, and with the upcoming next-gen devices
