Roblox Plus: Price, Features & Everything You Need to Know Before April 30

✅ Last Verified: April 21, 2026. All details sourced from the official Roblox newsroom and Roblox Support. No third-party speculation.

Roblox is retiring its Premium membership on April 30, 2026 and replacing it with Roblox Plus — a redesigned subscription at $4.99/month. Instead of a monthly Robux stipend, Plus is built around discounts and platform utilities. Here is everything currently confirmed about Roblox Plus, how it compares to Premium, and whether it is worth subscribing.

Price & Launch Date

Current Premium subscribers receive a free 1-month Roblox Plus trial and can stack it with their remaining Premium membership period before transitioning.

What Roblox Plus Includes

1. Item Discounts — 10% Immediately, 20% After 3 Months

Subscribers receive an immediate 10% discount on all in-game item purchases, avatar items, and Robux transactions. After three consecutive months of membership, that discount increases to 20%. It applies automatically at checkout — no extra steps required.

2. Free Unlimited Private Servers

Roblox Plus includes free access to paid private servers in all supported games. Many popular Roblox games charge 50–200 Robux per month for a private server — Plus waives those fees for subscribers. Availability depends on whether individual game developers have enabled Plus private server support in their game.

3. Fee-Free Robux Transfers

The peer-to-peer Robux transfer fee is removed for Plus subscribers. The full amount you send reaches the recipient with no platform deduction. Only the sender needs Plus — the recipient does not need a subscription to receive the full transfer.

4. Avatar Marketplace Access

Roblox Plus unlocks avatar item trading, publishing, and selling on the Marketplace. These features were previously gated behind Premium. If you want to participate in the Roblox avatar economy going forward, Plus is the required subscription tier.

5. Profile Badge

Subscribers receive a visible profile badge — a status indicator on your profile page visible to any player who views it.

Roblox Plus vs. Roblox Premium

The key shift: Plus removes the direct Robux stipend in favor of a discount model. Whether the math works depends on your spending. The 20% discount (after month 3) breaks even at roughly $25/month in Robux or item spending ($4.99 ÷ 0.20). Light spenders may find more value in the free private servers and fee-free transfer features than the percentage discount.

Bundle Options

Roblox plans optional bundles after the April 30 launch that pair a Plus subscription with a monthly Robux allowance:

Pricing has not been officially released as of April 21. If you valued Premium primarily for the monthly Robux stipend, one of these bundles will be the closest equivalent — but the cost-per-Robux comparison to buying Robux outright won't be clear until Roblox announces bundle pricing.

Impact on Creators

Roblox covers the discount cost directly, so creators earn the same per-item revenue regardless of whether the buyer has Plus. Two new revenue streams are also tied to the subscription:

• Private server payouts: Creators earn up to 100 Robux per subscriber per month for private server access to their game.
• In-game subscription bonuses: Developers offering in-game subscriptions via the Roblox API earn 250 Robux/month per Plus subscriber for up to three months.

For high-traffic games with active private server usage, the Plus payout model adds a meaningful new revenue stream alongside the existing DevEx and Marketplace channels.

FAQ

Q: Does Roblox Plus completely replace Premium?

A: Yes. New Premium sign-ups end April 30. Existing Premium subscribers can continue their current plan until it expires and receive a free 1-month Plus trial to test alongside their existing membership.

Q: What happens to my existing Premium after April 30?

A: Your membership runs until its end date. Roblox provides a free 1-month Plus trial you can stack with remaining Premium time. After Premium expires, you need Roblox Plus to maintain Marketplace access, trading, and selling.

Q: Is Roblox Plus worth it?

A: For players who regularly buy Robux or items: likely yes — the 10–20% discount compounds over time and pays for itself with moderate spending. For players who use private servers in supported games: immediate value. For casual players who rarely spend: the $4.99/month cost may outweigh the benefits at low spending levels.

Q: Does the recipient need Roblox Plus for fee-free Robux transfers?

A: No — only the sender needs Plus. The recipient receives the full transfer amount without needing their own subscription.

Q: When exactly does Roblox Plus launch?

A: April 30, 2026. No specific launch time has been confirmed as of April 21.

Q: Can I still subscribe to Roblox Premium after April 30?

A: No. New Premium sign-ups will no longer be available after April 30, 2026.
