How to Play Roblox on Nintendo Switch
While we’re still unsure when Roblox is coming to Nintendo Switch, there are workarounds to let you enjoy the game on your console!
Here are the methods to play Roblox on Nintendo Switch:
Method 1. Through Cloud Gaming
You can play Roblox without downloading or installing it on your Nintendo Switch by using a cloud gaming platform like now.gg.
First, you must activate the Nintendo Switch’s secret browser to play Roblox through cloud gaming. Don’t know how? Check out our article on how to access the secret Switch Web Browser.
Then, go to the Roblox page in now.gg and click “Play in Browser”. If you can’t find this button, it’s probably because Roblox is not supported in your location. Once it loads, log in to your Roblox account and start playing on your Nintendo Switch’s web browser. Easy peasy!

When Will Roblox Be Available on Nintendo Switch?
There has yet to be an official release date for Roblox on Nintendo Switch. Although many think Roblox would be a good fit for the platform, neither Roblox Corporation nor Nintendo PTD have made any public statements about it.
Like Sony, it is rumored that Nintendo Switch may have concerns about the large number of young players on their platform and the reports of exploitation in Roblox. There is also speculation that some exclusivity agreements may be the reason for the delay.
