What is Roblox?
Roblox is an online platform that allows people to create, share, and play games made by other users. The platform is free to use and money is made through the sale of in-game items. Roblox was founded in 2004 as DynaBlocks by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel. It was changed to Roblox in 2005. It was released in 2006 and is available on a large number of mediums, including Xbox, iOS, Android, and PCs. Roblox hit 2.7 million peak concurrent users in 2020.

What are Groups in Roblox?
In Roblox, groups let you manage content and other members of the community more easily, and provide a way for like-minded gamers to come together socially and play together more easily. Here is what groups do in practice:
- Group members can participate in group-specific games
- Group members can participate in group shout chats
- Group leaders can use Roblox group control panels to manage user permissions, roles and more
- Groups can have their own internal currencies and potential power ranking with Roblox’s DevEx For Groups feature that lets group leaders cash out Roblox’s in-game currencies for real money
To understand how groups operate and potentially figure out how to get into some of the best groups on Roblox, learn from Roblox’s Ying-Ge Chen, Group Product Manager, and Ran Andreshak, Design Lead for Groups and Guilds. In this seminar recording from the Roblox Developers Conference, they explain the basics of groups on Roblox, what Roblox is planning to add in the future to make managing groups easier, and how to participate in Roblox groups. They also invite some of the power user groups to present how they make groups work for them.
Note: The social aspect of groups is similar to other social networks. When one receives unwanted communications in the Roblox group chat, they have the ability to report and block the unauthorized user who sent the message and change their privacy settings to prevent others from sending messages or participating in the group chat.
How to Join a Group in Roblox on Xbox?
You can join a group in Roblox on Xbox by following the same instructions given earlier for browsing groups on mobile: by entering the name in the Search bar at the top of the screen and clicking on the desired group. Roblox on Xbox is different from mobile or PC as there is no way to browse or join groups organically. It is also impossible to see a full list of groups you are currently a member of in Roblox on Xbox. When users play on Roblox on the Xbox, the Xbox interface essentially operates as a separate Roblox hub, with the catalog, groups, and friends features being minimal to non-existent. Groups in Roblox used extensively on mobile and PC are not part of the Xbox experience at present.
Step 1: Open Roblox on Xbox
After opening Roblox, do the following (from A to D): Find an appropriate group you want to join. Some groups also require you to apply to join, as shown in the image below. Go to their group page by either searching for their name in the search bar or by finding one of their game pages that lists the company name. Click the … and then under the group column, click View Group.
Step 2: Go to the Groups Tab
Tap Menu button twice on the Roblox gamepad. This opens the Groups tab located by default at the bottom. This tab will show a list of groups you are a member of, pending group invites, and suggested groups. In suggested groups, you can scout out an option and tap A on it to join. If you are already a member of the group you want to message, tap the B button to open it and find the Chat button.
Step 3: Search for the Group You Want to Join
To search and join a Roblox user group on Xbox, go to Category and click on Groups. Use the search bar to enter the full or partial group name. The group(s) that match the search query contain the name or part of the name in the Name/Tagline, Description, Owner name, or Owner ID. When you select a group, it will open a new tab and there will be a Join Group button. If the group is open to all, you can join immediately. If the group requires approval to join, the group owner will see the request under Request Approval in Community Page Settings. The owner can decide to approve or decline an application to join.
Step 4: Request to Join the Group
After you find the Roblox group you want on the Roblox mobile app and navigate to it there, you need to click the three dots on the right and click Request Group. However, on Xbox this option does not exist, so you need to follow these steps there. Just click the bottom right settings symbol (X). Once you’ve found a Roblox group you would like to join simply click Join if the group is open. Send a friend request to the group owner if the icon next to your desired group has a lock symbol, then you must.
Step 5: Wait for Approval
Depending on the group settings and policies, it may take some time to be approved. There is no official average, however waiting a day (24 hours) after requesting membership is generally acceptable. If membership is not approved by then, membership may be provided at a different time. Certain roblox group administrators manually approve new requests once or twice a week instead of every day.
Some roblox groups auto-approve many pending requests. Others will vet new members and are much more selective about who they allow to join their groups Experts from Rankstat provide advice and suggest getting to know the group to everyone Create intelligent and well-thought-out posts that show you care about and are interested in the group. This demonstrates you will be an active group participant and considerably reduces the likelihood of your being rejected by the group’s moderators.
What are the Benefits of Joining a Group in Roblox?
The benefits of joining a group in Roblox include participating in group activities, notifying players about new group postings, receiving the Roblox group daily rewards and earning virtual Roblox group items, badges, and ranks.
Group activity participation includes Obbies, theme parks, Robux giveaways, war games, or other competitive or game-based activities. A group player can place a game within a specific range so only their Roblox group members have access. In larger Roblox groups with more features, members receive notifications, chat to each other, share experiences, and give group admins a more direct way of communicating about group settings including the economy, ranks, alliances with other groups, and the ability to promote or to kick out members.
Interact with Other Players
To join a Roblox group on Xbox, one way is to interact with other Roblox players. You can look for other Roblox players in the game you are playing, Xbox Clubs, Roblox’s social media platforms (e.g. their Discord server), or other forums. Start a conversation with them. Some Roblox players (ie those who are group owners or administrators of already-existing groups) may provide an invitation link or more information to help you join their group.
Participate in Group Activities and Events
Occasionally a group will participate in live Roblox events or Roblox’s Metaverse. These events are a good way to meet fellow members and learn to work together harmoniously on in-game quests and projects. Recently, several Roblox groups came together to rescue Blaze and the Monster Machines. Those who made it found a hidden Blaze figure in the game. This was a limited-time chance for group fun and bonding.
Depending on the group’s schedule and planned activities, event invitations and group meeting times are usually communicated by the group’s leadership through announcements in the Roblox group Wall. If a user sees an event scheduled they wish to participate in, then they should set an alarm, clear their schedule, and join in group fun.
The key factor within the group setting is using one’s gaming skills to support fellow Roblox group members. This is done by communicating during the event about progress, the need for support, or general decision-making.
Get Access to Exclusive Content
One of the benefits of joining a Roblox group is that groups can create their own in-game items, and some of these special in-game items and accessories can only be purchased or found by being in that group. Items in Roblox games that are obtained by members only are called Exclusive. If a player owns a group that is similar to a corporation, they can list other people as Clan Admins. These members have the same abilities as the original owner.
To exclude any new members from being able to view the clan, the clan admin must select Group Admin from the group admin page and use it to prevent additional members from seeing the clan.
Earn Group Rewards and Achievements
With the Roblox Groups feature, every member gets notified when the group moves up a rank. Roblox ranks are hierarchical titles given to users based on their activity in a group. The group owner assigns roles with different permissions, such as changing the group’s logo. R$ (Robux) payouts and the creation of custom roles are permitted if you have the Proper Role permissions in a group. Group achievements are featured in the Clans section of the Roblox mobile app, where users can explore leaderboards and other group-related statistics.
How to Leave a Group in Roblox on Xbox?
To leave a group in Roblox on Xbox, navigate to the group and press the ⯇ Leave Group ⯈ button. If you are being removed from a group, a message will appear on your screen. The group icon will disappear from the profile of the group member, who has left or been removed and will no longer appear on their page or update their feed.
Step 1: Go to the Groups Tab
After opening Roblox on an Xbox console, you can start the process of joining a group within the app. To do so, users need to locate the groups tab found at the Homepage of Roblox on Xbox. Here is how to access the group.
- Open any game on Roblox
- When the game starts, press the Y button on the controller. This will bring up the homepage for the game your are playing. It shows up as RED because of the them of the game I was testing on.
- Navigate using the controller and you will find the Groups tab there. Press the, A button to select it. If you want to see all the Roblox groups you have joined or have the option to join, you can go to Profile >> Groups in the two-step process similar to the one on Roblox mobile. After you have joined a group, the groups tab in the Homepage will show a You’re in! page, where you can see Easy access to your favorite groups as well as some of the others you are in.
At these group pages, there will be a Join Group button to click on, which will add the group to the Your Groups member list. You can even create a group here, upgrading with 100 Robux. The other way to open the group page is by using the Roblox Menu via the Xbox button and pressing the button for the three lines above new connects to go navigate to the Groups hub in My Character.
Step 2: Select the Group You Want to Leave
Step two to leaving a group in Roblox on Xbox is to select the group you want to leave in the main group page. This is done by scrolling through the groups you are currently a part of and looking for the group you want to leave. We are not sure why Roblox has this pause before confirming leaving a group, as there is no confirmation for joining a group.
Instructions for Step 2:
- Scroll through the [Groups] list until you find a group you want to leave.
- You will see a blue [Join] button; hold down on this until a window pops up asking if you want to leave the group.
Pro tip: While scrolling through the groups you are in, you can see a group’s description and message wall by pressing the View button while highlighting a group. This may help you make a better decision about whether to leave.
Results of Step 2: There is no need to confirm or save after selecting the group. The user will be shown as no longer in that group, and the [Join] button will have changed to [Leave].
Step 3: Click on the ‘Leave Group’ Button
To leave a group on Roblox for Xbox, click on the group name in blue on its group page. After clicking on a group page, members will see options to join the group, select group notifications, and leave the group at the bottom left of the menu in the Members Pane. Clicking on Leave Group will initiate the following confirmation prompt: Are you sure you want to leave the group?
Players should click on Leave Group in order to confirm that they want to exit the group, or click on Cancel to return to the group. Players who leave a group can later rejoin, as members of the group are able to exit and return at their discretion.
Step 4: Confirm Your Decision to Leave the Group
To confirm your decision to leave a Roblox group on Xbox, open up the group’s page as you did in Step 1 and click on the “More” option. Click on the red “Accept” button in the popup that appears. A confirmation box will pop up to ask you if you still want to leave the group. Click the red “Leave” button. You will no longer belong to this Roblox group and you will have to reapply for membership if you would like to belong once again. This will ensure you are choosing to leave the group without any chance of accidental leaving. Buildings or territories can also be left in the same way. One difference is that you can go about your playing business while staying in the same game after clicking “Leave” on your building or territory. You will automatically be connected to a new building or territories plan if you do not have one on the server.
You are now doing what you need each of the steps to do to leave a Roblox group. Membership groups are just a matter of user agreement which must be made once again while you may lose part of your creations or treasures when you leave buildings or territories.
