Users can even create their own experiences such as making a medieval kingdom, building a virtual space station, or designing an arcade.
There are many popular games and genres on Roblox. These include adopt me, Tower of Hell, Brookhaven, and Genshin Impact, a game that originally launched on PlayStation. The most popular game on Roblox is MeepCity by AlexNewtron with 7.048 cumulative billion plays. MeepCity is an online social role-playing game. Players can customize their avatars, own houses, play games, and interact with other players.

Check Your Spam or Junk Folder
Additionally for password recovery issues, Roblox Support recommends checking your spam or junk email folders.

If you find an email from Roblox in your spam or junk folders, you can mark it as “not junk” or “not spam” to help ensure that you receive future emails from the game. This is one way to fix a situation where your Roblox is not sending an email with instructions for changing a password.

Before attempting a Roblox password reset, you should verify that you have entered your correct email address in the field. Roblox will only send instructions to the email address that is entered, so if you have entered the wrong email address, Roblox will never arrive, and the password for your account cannot be reset.
To verify if you have entered the correct email address, go to your Roblox account center, log in if you haven’t already done so, and select the Privacy tab. Under the Account Info section, you should see Your email:, followed by the email address that you entered. Make sure this matches the real email address.
Contact Roblox Customer Support
Lastly, if you are still unable to reset your password, you may need to contact Roblox Customer Support directly. To do this simply open the contact Roblox page. If you cannot find the information you require, you can also speak to experienced community members who volunteer their time, or seek advice from other players in the forum.
On the Contact Support page, choose Account Access Issues. In the Description box, enter a sentence about changing your password. After hitting Next, you can choose Email or Phone. Email allows for direct emailing to Roblox customer support, while Phone leads to automatic roblox customer support phone service which tells an email address to reach out to. This may be the best avenue to reset your password if none of the other options have allowed you to do so.
