What blocking a game on Roblox actually does

Blocking a game on Roblox prevents that specific game from appearing in your recommendations, search results, and "Continue Playing" section. When you block a game, Roblox stops showing it to you personally — but the game itself stays live for other players. You are not reporting it or removing it from the platform; you are just telling Roblox's system not to surface it in your own feed.

This is different from reporting a game for breaking Roblox's rules. Blocking is a personal preference tool. Reporting sends a flag to Roblox moderators to review whether the game violates their terms of service. You can do both, but they serve different purposes.

Key Takeaways

  • Blocking a game hides it from your own recommendations and search results, but does not remove it from Roblox or affect other players.
  • You block a game from its game page or from the "Continue Playing" section by clicking the three-dot menu and selecting "Block Game".
  • Blocked games can be unblocked anytime by going to your account settings, Privacy tab, and removing the game from your blocked list.
  • If a game violates Roblox rules — such as containing inappropriate content or scams — you should report it separately, which sends it to moderators for review.

How to block a game from the game page

The most direct way to block a game is from the game's own page. Open the game you want to block in your web browser or the Roblox app. Look for the three-dot menu icon (often called a "more" menu) near the game's title or in the top right area of the page.

Click or tap that three-dot icon. A dropdown menu will appear with several options. Select "Block Game" from the list. Roblox will ask you to confirm — click "Block" again to finalize it. The game will now stop appearing in your recommendations and search results.

How to block a game from "Continue Playing"

If you see a game in your "Continue Playing" section that you want to block, you do not have to visit its page. Hover your mouse over the game tile (on desktop) or long-press it (on mobile), and a three-dot menu will appear on that tile. Click or tap the three dots.

Select "Block Game" from the menu that appears. Confirm the block when Roblox asks. The game will disappear from your "Continue Playing" section and will not show up in recommendations going forward.

How to unblock a game you blocked by mistake

Blocked games can be unblocked at any time. On the Roblox website, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Settings". On the Roblox app, tap the three-line menu and go to Settings.

Look for the "Privacy" tab in your settings. Scroll down until you see "Blocked Games" or a similar heading. This section shows every game you have blocked. Find the game you want to unblock and click the X or "Unblock" button next to it. The game will return to your recommendations and search results when ready.

The difference between blocking and reporting

Blocking and reporting are two separate actions. Blocking is personal — it only affects what you see. Reporting sends the game to Roblox moderators, who review it to see if it breaks Roblox's Community Standards or Terms of Service.

If a game contains scams, inappropriate content, or other rule violations, you should report it even if you also block it. To report a game, click the three-dot menu on the game page and select "Report Game". Describe what you saw that violates the rules. Roblox moderators will review your report and take action if the game actually breaks their policies.

Why you might want to block a game

Players block games for many reasons. You might block a game because you have outgrown it, because it keeps appearing in recommendations even though you are not interested, or because you want to focus on other types of games. Some players block games that are too difficult, too straightforward, or straightforward not fun for them.

Blocking is also useful if a game is broken or no longer updated. If you played it once and do not want to see it again, blocking removes it from your feed without having to report it.

What happens to the game when you block it

Nothing happens to the game itself. The game continues to run normally for every other player on Roblox. Blocking only changes what appears on your account. Other players can still play it, find it in search, and see it in recommendations.

The game's creator does not receive a notification that you blocked their game. Blocking is completely private to your account. If many players report a game for rule violations, Roblox moderators may investigate and take action — but blocking alone does not trigger any review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I block a game on mobile?

Yes. In the Roblox app on iOS or Android, open the game or find it in your "Continue Playing" section. Long-press the game tile until a menu appears, then tap the three dots and select "Block Game". The process is the same as on desktop.

Will the game creator know I blocked them?

No. Blocking is private to your account. The creator receives no notification, and blocking does not affect their game's visibility to other players or its performance on the platform.

What if I block a game and then change my mind?

Go to Settings, select the Privacy tab, find "Blocked Games", and click the X or "Unblock" button next to the game's name. It will return to your recommendations and search results right away.

Does blocking a game stop the creator from messaging me?

No. Blocking a game does not block the creator as a person. If you want to prevent someone from messaging you, you need to block them as a user, which is a separate action in your Privacy settings.

Can I block multiple games at once?

No. You must block games one at a time through the three-dot menu on each game's page or tile. There is no bulk-block feature in Roblox.
