You'd be hard-pressed to argue that Adopt Me! by DreamCraft isn't a contender for the single biggest game on Roblox.

However, this doughty experience by is an enduring favourite, not to mention a Roblox classic by this point and it seemed a shame to leave it unmentioned for the sake of a one-time cost of only 25 Robux (about 28p, although the current minimum currency bundle purchase is £4.49 for 400 Robux).

Welcome to Bloxburg is the only game on this list that requires pre-purchase, and in fact we didn't even include it on last year's list because we were focussing exclusively on free-to-play Roblox experiences. And with server sizes capped at 12 players, this is a good experience for dipping a toe into the social side of Roblox without getting overwhelmed. Explore Bloxburg with your Roblox avatar, build and decorate your dream home, find your character a job, or just chill out and enjoy the scenery. This town-and-city themed sandbox social sim has been around since 2014 and has absolutely nailed the no-goal-orientation formula. The name Welcome to Bloxburg sets an appropriate tone: this is a really good starting point if you're brand-new to Roblox.

With literally millions of mostly user-created games to choose from, finding good experiences can be a daunting task, so we've put together a list of the best Roblox games you can jump straight in to right now. Roblox is not so much a video game as a platform: one where young creators are encouraged to use in-built tools to develop their own gaming experiences, and then share them with other Roblox users.
