Quick answer

Roblox needs very little. It runs on 64 bit Windows 10 or Windows 11, and Roblox recommends at least 1 GB of memory, a 1.6 GHz or faster processor made in 2005 or later, a graphics card with DirectX 10 support and 300 MB of free storage. For the smoothest play Roblox suggests a computer less than five years old with a dedicated graphics card.

Recommended

Roblox publishes one set of figures, not separate minimum and recommended tiers. The specs shown here are its own suggested figures. Apart from the operating system, Roblox sets no hard minimum.

Roblox also suggests a computer less than five years old with a dedicated graphics card, and an internet connection of 4 to 8 Mb/s.

What these numbers mean in practice

Minimum requirements are the floor, not a target. Meeting them means Roblox will start and remain playable, typically at low settings and often around 30 frames per second. If your hardware only just clears the minimum, expect to lower the resolution before you lower anything else, since resolution costs more performance than almost any other setting.

The graphics card matters more than any other component here. In our scoring the GPU carries 40 percent of the compatibility result, the processor 30 percent, and memory and storage speed 15 percent each. A strong processor cannot rescue a card that falls below the minimum, though a weak processor can hold back a strong card at lower resolutions.

Does Roblox run on a laptop?

It can, but compare the actual laptop GPU rather than the desktop card with a similar name. Laptop graphics chips typically run 15 to 30 percent slower than their desktop counterparts because of power and cooling limits, so a laptop card that matches the recommended spec on paper often performs closer to the minimum.
