- A Roblox game must be public to all users before its creator can enable private servers.
- New Roblox games are private by default.
- A creator can set a game to Public through Configure, Settings, and Audience in Creator Dashboard, then save the change.
- Private servers can be enabled in Roblox Studio through File, Experience Settings, and Monetization, where the creator chooses Free or Paid and saves the settings.
- Paid private servers charge users a monthly Robux fee.
- Private servers cannot be enabled simultaneously with paid game access in Robux or local currency.
- The price of a paid private server can be changed only once every 60 days.

Roblox creators can enable private servers only after making their game public to all users.
1. Make the game public
New Roblox games are private by default. To change the audience:
- Open the Creator Dashboard and select the game.
- Navigate to Configure > Settings.
- Under Audience, select Public.
- Click Save Changes.
2. Enable private servers
After making the game public:
- Open the game in Roblox Studio.
- Select File > Experience Settings.
- Select Monetization.
- Enable Private Servers.
- Choose Free or Paid. For a paid private server, enter the Robux price.
- Click Save.
Paid private servers charge users a monthly Robux fee.
3. Check for paid-access conflicts
Roblox does not allow private servers and paid game access to be enabled simultaneously, whether access is sold for Robux or local currency.
4. Understand price changes
You can change a paid private server's price only once every 60 days. A price change cancels all active subscriptions, and affected subscribers automatically receive a private inbox message.
