Master Guide: Linking Your Xbox Gamer Profile with Roblox on PC
As an avid Roblox community member with over 10 years of experience gaming on Xbox, I‘ve been asked countless times if and how Xbox profiles and gamertags can be used within Roblox on a Windows PC.
The good news is yes, you can absolutely link your Xbox ID to seamlessly work across both platforms! By connecting your accounts, you can carry over your friends, avatar, inventory, and other Xbox live features to enjoy on PC.
Here‘s exactly how to get your Xbox account working with the Roblox desktop application in just a few quick steps:
Step 1: Sign in on your Xbox One console
First, you‘ll want to make sure you are logged into the latest version of Roblox on your Xbox using the Microsoft gamertag and profile you want to link. With your account loaded up:
- Navigate to the "Settings" menu from the Roblox home screen
- Select "Link Account"
- Enter your main Roblox username and password
Once entered successfully, your Xbox identity will now be permanently tied to this core Roblox account.
Pro Tip: Double check that your Xbox privacy and age verification settings match what‘s listed under account details in Roblox before linking to avoid any issues.
Step 2: Login using Xbox credentials on Roblox for PC
With your linking complete on the console side, you can now leverage that connection to sign in through Xbox on the Windows desktop app:
- Download and launch Roblox on your PC as normal
- Click the "Xbox" button at the bottom of the sign-in page
- Input the email and password associated with your Xbox profile
Upon entering the credentials correctly, your Xbox gamertag, friends roster, avatar, and any owned inventory items will be loaded into Roblox on this new device.
You are now set up for cross-platform play!
