The original report is as follows
Roblox, the biggest game platform on the planet, has gotten a surprise new(?) release on Microsoft’s Xbox PC store with Xbox cross-platform multiplayer and co-op.
Roblox has been on Xbox consoles, PC, and Mobile for a long time. It recently launched on PlayStation but was never a direct part of the Microsoft Store/Xbox PC launcher. That all changed tonight with a surprising (at least to me) September 11th, 2025, brand new store listing titled ‘Roblox – Windows‘. It is not a Play Anywhere title and is only a 200mb install. Roblox itself is not a game; instead, it is a toolset used to host UGC (User-generated content).
What is most interesting is that the Roblox console versions are wildly different from the mobile and PC ports of the game. Console has tended to be more highly curated, whereas PC and mobile are a Wild West of potential IP theft and home to some reportedly truly vile behavior by perverts. Despite all of that, Roblox has more monthly users than Steam and has games with millions of active users per day.
This version shows as having ‘Xbox cross-platform multiplayer’ and ‘Xbox cross-platform co-op’. Which may mean it is the Xbox version for PC (instead of the PC version), but on a new storefront. Keep an eye on this article as we attempt to find out over the coming days.
