Have fun with friends!

Aside from being a platform for creativity and collaboration, Roblox is also a great place to play games with friends. There are thousands of different games available on the platform, ranging from simple puzzles to more complex multiplayer experiences. So how can you tell what game someone is playing on Roblox?

There are a few different ways. The easiest is to simply ask them. But if you want to check without asking, there are a few other options.

It’s easy to see what your friends are playing on Roblox. You can see who’s online right on the main page, and what game they’re playing will be listed under their username. You can then join them by clicking on the game’s name.

Another way to see what they’re playing is by clicking on their username and then selecting “View Profile.” Their currently active game will be listed right at the top of their profile page.

Lastly, you can search for all of your friends who are playing by using search filters. Just click on “In-Experience,” and Roblox will pull up a list of everyone in your friends list who are in a game. Then, you just go over them to find the players you want to play with or the games you’re looking for.

Take note that you won’t see what your friends are playing if they have their privacy settings, specifically for “Who can join me?,” set to “No one.” In this case, you’ll just see a notification that the game is private.

As mentioned, some players opt to set the “Who can join me” feature to “No one” in their game’s settings. This effectively prevents anyone from joining them while they’re playing, and as such, you won’t be able to see what game they’re playing on the server. You can work around this by using a browser extension, such as RoSearcher. This extension lets you search for friends even if they have their joins turned off, so you can still see and join them in the game.

On the other hand, if you’re not friends with the person whose game you want to check out, there’s still a way to see what they’re playing. Just use the search function on Roblox and go to the person’s profile page. Once you’re there, you can see the “Join” button and click on it to enter the game that the person is playing. However, this can only work if the user set their “Who can join me” setting to “Everyone.”
