You just experienced a mind-blowing round in your favorite Roblox game. Maybe it was a flawlessly built tycoon.

Maybe you found a cleverly brilliant horror game. Or maybe.. . you finally beat that obby you’ve been struggling to do for weeks. Whatever, you’re stoked. Gone crazy. And suddenly it dawns on you:

“Wait, do I like this game?” Is there a Like button?

Does it even matter?

Is it the same as favoriting?

Welcome to the definitive guide on how to like a Roblox game in 2025.

It’s not just the click of a thumbs-up. It’s understanding how the Roblox community system works, how creators are paid, how players influence rankings, and how something as simple as a Like can determine a game’s fate.

What Does “Liking” a Game on Roblox Actually Do

Let’s make this clear: Not liking a game on Roblox isn’t just bad.

It actually makes a tangible impact on the way the platform is run.

This is what that tiny thumbs-up does:

• Makes visible: More liked games are prioritized at the top of featured and search lists
• Gains trust: Gamers trust games with a high like-to-dislike ratio
• Unlocks dev rewards: Some devs reward game items or perks for reaching like milestones
• Instructs Roblox’s algorithm: More likes = more likely to be included in your recommendations
• Assists the dev team: Developers track concurrent goals and release periodic updates or bonus material when milestones are hit

Bottom line? Want your favorite game to grow, flourish, and get updated. Then click that Like.

How to Like a Game on Roblox 

On PC or Mac (Browser Version):

• Open Roblox.com and log into your account
• Use the home page or the search box to find the game that you’ve played (or want to like)
• Tap the game thumbnail to show the full game page
• Under the Play button, you can see a thumbs-up, and a thumbs-down 
• Tap on the thumbs-up to Like the game

That’s it! You’ve now increased the game’s like count

Tip: You must play the game at least once before you can like it

On Mobile (iOS and Android App):

• Open Roblox app on your phone or tablet
• Log in to your account
• Tap the magnifying glass and look for the game
• Tap the game to open its page of description
• Scroll down the badges of the game and description
• You will see the Like / Dislike buttons, tap the thumbs-up

That’s it! You have officially liked the game.

On Console (Xbox):

• Open Roblox on Xbox
• Use controller to navigate to the game you wish to Like
• Press A to select it and navigate to the game’s detail page
• Press menu button (≡) and look for an option that shows “Rate Game” or “Thumbs Up/Down”
• Pick Thumbs Up in order to Like it

Tip: Xbox does not always present the Like button the same, the icon may be in a sub-menu.

Where Is the Like Button on Roblox Games?

You won’t be able to see the Like button. As it isn’t displayed while playing the game.

You will need to exit the game. Then proceed to the game’s main page in order to like it.

Look just below the Play button, usually with visits number, favorites number, and server size.

If it’s absolutely nowhere, look below, on mobile it will be below the fold.

What’s the Difference Between “Like,” “Favorite,” and “Follow”?

Roblox gives you three ways to interact with a game beyond playing it.

Like:

• Voting the game up in public
• Puts pressure on the game’s ranking and rating
• Makes it more prominent on the site

Favorite:

• Save the game to your own list of Favorites. So you can easily find it again in the future
• Impacts ranking less than Likes
• A good choice for bookmarking games that you want to play again

Follow:

• Reminds you when the game gets updated
• Helps the algorithm know what interests you better
• Devs consider followers as avid players

Pro Tip: Tap all three (Like, Favorite, Follow) to show them maximum love

Why Developers Love Likes So Much?

Likes are gold to Roblox developers.

This is what they get for free:

• Social Proof
• More Likes = More Trust = More Players

Nobody wants to play a game that has 200K visits and 14 likes. It just looks… dodgy.

Algorithm Boost

Roblox uses a recommendation engine to recommend games. Likes get a game featured in:

• Popular near you
• Trending
• Recommended for you
• Top Rated
• In-Game Rewards

Some games reward likes and unlock content upon achieving milestones. Some of them are:

• New pets in simulation games
• Special swords or skins in RPGs
• Developer Q&A sessions
• Event modes or game passes
• Monetization Signals

High Like ratios drive developer confidence in spending time or Robux in upcoming updates, sponsorships, and marketing

How to Unlike a Game (In Case You Change Your Mind)

Yes, you can Unlike a game if you click into it by mistake, or if the game is terrible

On PC or Mobile

• Visit the page of the game
• Click or tap thumbs-up again
• It will get deselected, reversing your Like

Now you can choose to leave it be or thumb it down, if the game’s not good enough for your like

What happens when a game achieves a Like Milestone?

Some creators have Like Milestones such as:

• 1,000 Likes = new code
• 10,000 Likes = new map
• 50,000 Likes = special item
• 100,000 Likes = a sequel, new UI, or mega update

Others even attach it to their Twitter/X, Discord, or Group posts, saying:

• “Help us hit 25K Likes for a new boss battle!”

It creates community hype, and makes gamers feel that they are a part of the game’s development

Can You Get Rewards for Liking a Game?

In some games: yes

Programmers can write to ask you if you liked their game. They may then:

• Grant you a Like Badge
• Unlock a code box
• Grant you a cosmetic item
• Grant you a next-login reward

You can’t always rely on it, but it happens more than you’d think, particularly in:

• Simulator games
• Obbies
• Anime fighting games
• Tycoon games

Check the game description or most recent patch notes. If it’s “Like for rewards,” thumbs-up time!

Mythbusting: Roblox Like Myths That Aren’t

Dispelling some myths:

“Liking earns me Robux.” 

No. You won’t earn Robux from liking a game, never

“Likes earn me admin.” 

False. Admin is not awarded to devs due to likes

“More likes = more money for the devs.” 

Indirectly true. The more likes, the more players, which translates to more monetization

Nope. Anyone with a Roblox account can like a game after playing
