If you’ve found that the fun has stopped due to Roblox needing an update, or you just want to get your hands on the most current features, knowing how to update the Roblox Player is important. Thankfully, it’s much easier than you may fear.
The first thing you’ll need to do is download the Roblox Player installer. Depending on your operating system, you’ll be prompted to download either the Windows or Mac version. If you have an Apple computer, choose the Mac version. Most other PCs will use the Windows installer.
Once you’ve installed the Roblox Player, you can access all of the different experiences that Roblox has to offer, ranging from Dress to Impress to the ever-popular Type Soul. However, if your client is asking for an update, you’ll just need to close out of the program.
