If you enjoyed a Roblox game and want to support its creator, you may want to give the experience a positive rating. Roblox officially refers to games as experiences, and the rating controls can vary depending on the device you are using. On supported platforms, you can rate an experience using a positive or negative rating control, while the Roblox website also provides a separate Favorite option represented by a star.
The simplest answer is this: open the Roblox experience you want to support, play it first if required by your platform, return to its experience screen, and select the positive/Thumb Up rating option. If your goal is simply to save the game so you can find it again later, use the star shaped Favorite button instead. These are two different actions, and understanding the difference can prevent confusion.
How to Like a Game on Roblox
Roblox’s terminology can make this question slightly confusing because users commonly say like a game, while Roblox documentation may describe the action as rating an experience. On platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation, Roblox specifically instructs players to play the experience first and then use the Thumb Up or Up icon to give it a positive rating.
If you are using a computer or phone, the exact appearance and placement of controls can depend on the current Roblox interface and device. Therefore, if you do not immediately see a thumbs up button, don’t assume the feature has disappeared. You may instead be looking at the experience’s details page, where the Favorite star is available for saving the experience.
How to Like a Roblox Game on PC
On a computer, start by opening Roblox and signing in to your account. Use the search function to find the experience you want to rate. Roblox allows users to search for experiences by title or keyword, and selecting an experience opens its details page.
Once you have opened the experience, look through the available controls around the experience information. If Roblox presents the rating controls for your account and interface, choose the positive or Thumb Up option after playing the experience when required. The important point is that rating and favoriting are not necessarily the same control.
Finding the Experience
If you know the game’s name, search for it directly rather than scrolling through the Home page. Roblox’s search system lets users find experiences by title or keyword. After finding the correct result, select its icon to open the experience page.
This is particularly useful when several Roblox experiences have similar names. Check the thumbnail, creator information and description before selecting the game you intended to rate.
Giving the Experience a Positive Rating
If the rating interface is available, select the Thumb Up or equivalent positive rating control. On supported platforms, Roblox describes this as rating the experience after you have played it. For example, its Xbox support documentation instructs players to select the Thumb Up or Thumb Down icon and press A on Xbox.
If you only see a star beneath the Play button, that is the Favorite feature rather than the rating control. Roblox’s official support page explains that clicking the star changes it from an outline to a filled star, indicating that the experience has been added to your Favorites.
How to Like a Game on Roblox Mobile
Roblox can be used through its mobile application on phones and tablets. To find an experience, open the app and go to the Experiences section. Roblox’s mobile support documentation explains that users can browse categories or use the search function to locate an experience by title or keyword.
After finding the game, tap its icon to open the experience page. From there, you can read its description and other information and start playing. If your version of Roblox provides rating controls for the experience, use the positive rating option after playing.
Using the Roblox App
The mobile interface can look different from the desktop website, particularly as Roblox updates its application. Consequently, the location of buttons may change over time. The safest approach is to open the specific experience rather than searching for a universal “Like” button somewhere else in the app.
If your intention is to keep the experience for later, look for the star icon instead. Roblox says that favorited experiences can subsequently be found through the Favorites area on the Home page.
Finding the Rating Controls
If you cannot find a thumbs up option on mobile, first make sure you have opened the actual experience’s page and, where required, have played the experience. You should also make sure your Roblox app is updated.
It is important not to confuse a game’s in game Like button with Roblox’s own experience rating system. Some individual experiences contain their own buttons, voting systems or reward mechanics created by their developers. Those controls are separate from Roblox’s platform level rating functionality.
How to Like a Roblox Game on Xbox and PlayStation
Console users have particularly clear instructions from Roblox’s official support documentation. On Xbox, Roblox states that you must first play an experience before rating it. After playing, open the experience’s screen, select the Thumb Up or Thumb Down icon and press A.
PlayStation follows a similar process. Roblox says that players must first play the experience and can then rate it from the experience screen by selecting the Up or Down icon and pressing X.
Rating an Experience on Xbox
The basic Xbox process is:
- Open Roblox and select the experience.
- Play the experience.
- Return to the experience’s screen.
- Select Thumb Up if you enjoyed it.
- Press A to confirm.
Roblox specifically documents this process for its Xbox One application.
Rating an Experience on PlayStation
On PlayStation, the process is similarly straightforward:
- Open the Roblox experience.
- Play it first.
- Return to the experience screen.
- Select the Up icon for a positive rating.
- Press X.
These instructions come directly from Roblox’s PlayStation support documentation.
Like vs Favorite on Roblox
One of the biggest sources of confusion is the difference between liking/rating and favoriting an experience.
A rating tells Roblox your opinion of the experience. A Favorite, on the other hand, is primarily a way to save an experience so you can find it more easily later. Roblox’s official instructions say that you can favorite an experience by clicking the star icon underneath the Play button on its details page.
| Action | Main purpose |
|---|---|
| Positive rating/Like | Shows that you enjoyed the experience |
| Favorite | Saves the experience for easier access later |
| Negative rating/Dislike | Shows that you did not enjoy the experience |
| Play | Opens the experience |
So, if a friend says, “Please like my Roblox game,” they may mean that they want you to give their experience a positive rating. If they say, “Favorite my game,” they are asking you to save it to your Favorites.
Why You May Not See the Like Button
There are several reasons you may not immediately see a rating option. The first is that Roblox’s interface differs between devices. A button documented for Xbox or PlayStation may not appear in exactly the same place on the website or mobile application. Roblox maintains separate support instructions for different platforms, which confirms that the experience can vary by device.
Another possibility is that you have not yet played the experience. Roblox explicitly states that Xbox and PlayStation users must play an experience before rating it.
You Have Not Played the Experience
If you are trying to rate an experience on console and cannot find the rating controls, play the experience first. Afterward, return to its experience screen and check again.
This requirement is especially important for users who open a game’s page and immediately look for a rating button without launching the experience.
The App or Platform Has Different Controls
Roblox’s controls are not identical across every device. Xbox uses the Thumb Up/Thumb Down controls described in Roblox’s support documentation, while PlayStation uses Up/Down icons.
On mobile and desktop, you may encounter a different presentation. If you see a star underneath the Play button, remember that it represents Favorite, not necessarily the same thing as a positive rating.
Roblox Interface Changes
Roblox regularly updates its platform and user interface. As a result, screenshots or instructions published several years ago may not perfectly match the current application. When troubleshooting, prioritize current Roblox Support documentation over old tutorials.
How to Favorite a Roblox Game
If you simply want to save a Roblox experience so you can play it again, favoriting may be what you actually need.
Open the experience’s details page and find the star icon underneath the Play button. Select the star. According to Roblox Support, an outline star becomes filled when the experience has been added to your Favorites. You can select the star again later if you want to remove the experience from your Favorites.
Once you have favorited an experience, Roblox says you can find it in the Favorites area of your Home page.
This is useful for games you want to remember without necessarily rating them. For example, you might favorite a simulator you play occasionally, an adventure game you want to return to, or an experience recommended by a friend.
Why Ratings Matter on Roblox
Ratings and other player activity can contribute to how experiences perform on the platform. Roblox explains that its experience search and recommendation systems consider factors including relevance, experience content, quality, performance and popularity. It also says user activity and popularity can influence recommendations.
That does not mean one positive rating automatically makes a game popular or guarantees higher rankings. Roblox’s recommendation systems use multiple signals, and their relative importance can vary depending on the search or recommendation feature.
For creators, however, genuine feedback from players can be useful. If you genuinely enjoyed an experience, giving it a positive rating is a simple way to communicate that to the platform and creator.
Conclusion
Learning how to like a game on Roblox is straightforward once you understand the difference between rating and favoriting. On Xbox and PlayStation, Roblox officially instructs players to play the experience first and then use the positive rating control. On the Roblox website, the star underneath the Play button is used to Favorite an experience rather than simply indicating a positive rating.
If you enjoyed an experience, giving genuine positive feedback can be a useful way to support its creator. If you simply want to find the game again later, add it to your Favorites. Either way, knowing which control does what makes navigating Roblox much easier.
