Where the Roblox servers are

Roblox runs its game servers in its own edge data centers around the world and picks the server for you when you join. Roblox does not publish a full city list; the one location it has named for players is its São Paulo data center for Brazil. Matchmaking weighs friends far above ping, so joining a friend can put you on a farther server. Roblox documents no region picker.

Roblox Corporation names these locations only, not a full list. A city it does not name prints as not published, and an area folded onto a test point never borrows that test point's city.

What Roblox Corporation says about ping

Roblox Corporation publishes no ping figure or advice for Roblox.

Our test reads its own bands next to that: Excellent under 40 ms, Good 40 to under 80 ms, Playable 80 to under 130 ms, Poor 130 ms and above. These are our lines, not Roblox Corporation's.

What our test reads for Roblox

  • Roblox Corporation names some locations only, so the test compares every region. The result is general unless you pick the region you play on.
  • Roblox Corporation places players from Brazil on Brazil (Sao Paulo), and the test uses that when you set your country.
