Roblox Build Public Alpha Opens in New Zealand

Roblox Corporation began the Build public alpha in New Zealand on July 28, 2026, opening selected mobile-first creation and publishing features to eligible users.

News summary

New Zealand is the first public-alpha region for Build, with access limited to age-checked Roblox users aged 9 and older.

The mobile creation tab converts a written prompt into a basic playable game with generated mechanics, environments, characters, visual style and sound.

Build-created games that clear Roblox Corporation’s safety review can reach age-checked users aged 16 and older worldwide.

Roblox Corporation plans a free base tier, with additional paid options reserved for creators who need expanded tools.

Update overview

Roblox Corporation began the announced Build public-alpha window on July 28, 2026, giving eligible New Zealand users a mobile workflow for prompting, refining, playtesting and sharing a game without opening Roblox Studio.

The shared Build and Studio back end preserves models and chat history, so a creator can start on a phone and continue the same project with Roblox Studio’s wider editing tools.

Publishing remains subject to Roblox Corporation’s age checks, content review and retention-based discovery system rather than receiving automatic placement in Roblox Kids or Select catalogues.

Key details

Roblox Corporation’s July 16 announcement set July 28 as the first test date and named New Zealand as the initial region.
