Roblox to allow cross-play between Xbox One and other platforms. Roblox is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game and development platform which allows users to create whatever they want. Asher Madan. 30 Oct 2017.
Roblox became exclusively available on Xbox One in January 2016 for free , where it has frequently remained one of the top free games. If you look at any given time, there may be around 80,000 concurrent players on the platform alone. Expanding cross-play to Xbox One gives Roblox's 1.9 million creators an even wider audience. It looks like cross-play is definitely the way of the future.
This is the first time Xbox One players will be able to play with others. Until now, the console experience has been limited to Xbox One players playing with other Xbox One players. This drastically limited the number of individuals console gamers could interact with even though the developers say that Roblox has "millions of monthly users' on the console. Just like Minecraft's Better Together Update, you can play Roblox with your friends on any device regardless of your platform. You can be on a smartphone and they can be on an Xbox One. It just works!
