Users who move from a Windows PC to a Chromebook find it hard to accept that they can no longer play their favorite games on this new platform. However, things have changed dramatically in the past few years thanks to Linux support and now you can play a majority of Windows games either through Steam on Chrome OS or Play Store. Recently, we covered how to play Minecraft on Chromebook, and this time we bring you how to run Roblox on your machine. You can easily install and play Roblox on a Chromebook in 2024 without many hacks and tweaks. In fact, you can now even play Roblox on school Chromebooks. So without further delay, let’s jump to the steps.
You can play Roblox on Chromebooks, no matter if you have Play Store support or not. The experience with the Android app is much better and the frame rate is also pretty good. In case you have a school-issued Chromebook and Play Store is locked for you, you can play Roblox on your Chromebook through the Chrome browser. We have mentioned both methods below so go ahead and check them out.

Install and Play Roblox on Your Chromebook (Requires Play Store Support)
1. First of all, open the Settings page of your Chromebook by clicking on the cogwheel icon under the Quick Settings menu.
2. Next, click on “Apps” on the left pane and enable Google Play Store, if Play Store is already not turned on.
3. After that, search for Roblox in the Play Store (Free, offers in-app purchases) and install it right away on your Chromebook.
4. Now, just open the game from the App Drawer and Roblox will work like a charm. You can also press the Search key on the keyboard and search for “roblox” to open it. The best part is that it supports WASD key controls and an external mouse as well. You can now play the best Roblox games with your friends in 2024.
5. In my testing, there was some graphics-related black lines issue while playing Roblox on Chromebook. However, after enabling GPU acceleration on my Chromebook from Chrome flags, the effect was minimized. You can also try using the same method on your Chromebook. Other than that, if your Chromebook has an ARM-based processor, Roblox would perform pretty well since you are running an Android app.
Play Roblox In the Browser on Chrome OS (For School Chromebooks)
If you have a school-issued Chromebook, there is now a way to play Roblox, thanks to now.gg, which is a mobile cloud gaming platform. It allows you to play any mobile game on your Chromebook, Mac, or PC without having to download anything. You don’t even need to sign up or pay for anything. It just works and performs fairly well in the browser. On that note, let’s go ahead and learn how to play Roblox on school-issued Chromebooks using the easiest method possible.
Note:
You must use a VPN to play Roblox on now.gg. Make sure to connect to a US server to make the game available.
1. First of all, open a VPN on your Chromebook and connect to a US server. I am using ProtonVPN, but you can try VPN extensions like NordVPN (visit) on school-issued Chromebooks.
2. Just head over to this now.gg link and click on “Play in browser“. Instantly, it will launch the game in the browser.
3. Wait for a few seconds and then log in to your Roblox account.
4. Now, you are logged in to your account and can play some of the best scary Roblox games with your friends. And if you are not into scary or horror games, you can check out the best Roblox characters to use while gaming with friends online.
5. As you can see here, I am able to play Roblox on my Chromebook without any restriction. It even supports WASD controls and is quite responsive.
So that was our guide on how to install and play Roblox on a Chromebook. As you can see, this popular sandbox game is already available on the Google Play Store, and you don’t need to go through any sort of hassles to play this massive multiplayer game. If you have a school-issued Chromebook, you can run Roblox on your school Chromebook through the browser. Apart from that, you can try Crayta on Google Stadia, a game like Roblox that is also free to play. Anyway, that is all from us. If you want to play more games on Chrome OS, head over to our dedicated article on the best Chromebook games.
I hi it does not work I can’t click on it it’s gray it won’t work thanks for nothing lie
hey you did help me but I cant turn it on
Ok guys for a lot of you it may not work. That’s because it is a very complicated process. First and foremost you can’t have things blocked. So just go to the google chrome store and download a Utility Browser. These allow you to search some things without it being blocked. Then you gotta find APK files for roblox. Just search it in normal google and right click on where they say download. After that you gotta download the Arc Welder extension from google chrome store. Then you launch it, CLICK A FOLDER OR MAKE A NEW ONE, THEN you put your APK file. It will take time, and then do the rest of what the post says.
It starts “loading” after i open the apk but nearly 5 seconds later it just stops and leaves me to click “add apk” Plss help. If you can help me, My discord is Irodgn #7432
Its the same with me, Discord: RunicVoid#4844
I cant open Arc welder. It lets me download it of the web store but for some reason i cant run it. Is it because ARC welder is a dev tool?
ummmmm device admins can block things .-.
Can you show me a way too get the android apk without it being blocked because my school chromebook has a extension that doesn’t allow me to get it
iem gage roblox
im sorry. but that android apk welder has been discontinued since dec. 2020
GoGuardian?

You play adopt me to?
I am not a bot.
It works on my chrombook.
I am not lying.
If u think this is fake so be it.
But its real 100% i can even show proof.
You are dumb, other people have a up to date chromebook but their administrator downloaded some bullcrap called forticlient that blocks “almost every site” except for school sites, they want to download the apk file but it is blocked so don’t talk.
Its dumb how forticlient is a thing
Dude, you don’t even know if he’s using an actual Chromebook.
KIDS IT WORKS.
If u are whining why it does not work maybe its bc u dont have the newest version of a chromebook.
So kids shut up.
you are a kid……
IT SAYS THE EXTENSION IS BLOCKED YOU DUMMY. DO. YOU. NOT. UNDERSTAND. WHAT. WE. ARE. SAYING?!?!?!?! THEY BLOCK YOU FROM DOWNLOADING FROM THE CHROME STORE SO WHEN WE TRY TO ADD THE EXTENSION IT SAYS ADMIN HAS BLOCKED IT. STOP BEHAVING LIKE A 7 YEAR OLD AND LOOK AT THE FACTS!!!
You shut up. They dont let us because Chrome Store is blocked. If anyone is a kid you are.

I have tried all of the above, it downloads from the playstore starts to load and just goes off and I have also tried the other download which has all done when it comes to testing app it starts then nothing else comes up

if you blind idiots cant read they do say and i quote in big bold letters “it does not work on all chromebooks”
i am sure it works
just wait and see my friends 😉
It won’t let me:C
Worked for me as well!
So I have to show anybody seeing this, for the few people who want to play steam games like me, but is restricted by time constraints at school. There is another place that I have found that just recently allowed chromebook support. That is Geforce now, even though you only get an hour of playtime.(unless you upgrade) It can be done over and over again. I do this in the middle of class when we have no work or unless I play Into the Breach,(Epic Games version) a chess like game. Games like TABS, TABG, Factorio, Fortnite(Dead and I hate it), and Watchdogs 1, 2, and Legion. They even have cyberpunk 2077. You might ask, “well how would that work it would destr…” Shut up. It runs on servers a decent ways away from wherever you live, which explains why there would be delay every so often(not because of chromebook). There still is a delay even with computers and laptops. Just pause and unpause on a singleplayer game. I do recommend using a chromebook that was handed to you without any blockers. Lastly, don’t complain when it doesn’t work because I know that its on your end. This works on almost all chromebooks. If it says that it doesn’t have the right os then try downloading the other downloads. That’s it and here’s the link. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/download/
how to i make a roblox game on my chromebook i need that money?
you dont because roblox studio Is for mac or pc. BUT YOU CAN TRY retro studio on roblox, or perhaps something like godot engine?
i have an HP chromebook 14 and I have roblox running on there pretty well. definitely depends on the device and software, if it will work.
i have Hp chromebook 14 and I cant even load roblox, it simply says “Chrome os cannot open this page
I can’t get it on the Chromebook bc the web is blocked lol
ok
i had my chromebook since last march and its from school it doesnt work every time i try to add roblox it loads and gets stuck
When I tried adding the roblox APK file on ARC welder, it would load for a bit, but then do nothing. Is that where everyone else is giving up or..?
Same thing happen to me
Same
yeah i have a samsung chromebook
same
Ye they need to fix that, I tried to go to the,”click here if it doesn’t start downloading” and it brings you to another thing to install. You can’t install it though and so yeah, your stuck there.
Same,but i think the problem for me is that instead of the roblox page showing up in downloads it shows up in google drive.
i want to play roblox on my chromebook and it wont let me
same
same my school blocked every extension
same
same wit meh
Worked for me! I love your app!
What kind of chrome book do you have? Also are you using Play Store or the APK to play Roblox?
