All about roleplay (RP) games on Roblox

Roblox has a huge variety of user-made games, but Roleplay, or RP, titles might be some of the most popular. Not to be confused with RPGs, RP games are often more social, with lots of players interacting together. There are lots of RP games in Roblox, many of them focusing on different elements or settings. Here's what you need to know about RP games in Roblox.

RP games are about digging into different lives, but with the addition of other people. In an RP game, you'll take on the role of a character in a variety of settings. The fun is staying in character when you interact with other players. It's essentially a big, more involved version of playing pretend with lots of other people.

RPGs, like the Final Fantasy series or Genshin Impact, are a little different from RP games. RPGs focus on telling a story, where you play one of the characters in that story, increasing the stats and abilities of that character over time, often through your own choices. RP games are more about interacting with other players while in-character. If one kind of game is telling a story, the other kind is letting you write the story.

While RP games encourage you to lose yourself in the game and the role that you pick, especially in Roblox, these games are also a place to hang out with friends and other players. Many of these games have low-stakes gameplay or focus on simulation, where your goal is to do things like find a job and buy a house, and that makes them useful for players just looking for a social space.

The easiest way to find RP games is through Roblox's search function. RP is used as a category by creators, so you can search for 'RP' and use the 'Experiences' tab to find any games that have been designated in that category. RP games also carry a small house icon next to their names, which can help you spot the RP titles quickly.

One of the most popular RP games in Roblox is Brookhaven, a game where you live in a city and can take part in a variety of activities. Like a lot of RP games, Brookhaven is more of a sandbox where you can do a lot of different things while interacting with other players.

LifeTogether, Berry Avenue and Metro Life City are all similar RP experiences. In each, you can drive cars, take part in different activities and jobs, buy houses and more. Lots of other RP experiences offer a similar approach, but with different cities and activities on offer, so it's worth exploring to find the ones that you like best.
