Roblox Beta Program

The Roblox Beta Program is a group of users who have opted in to receive updates before non-beta members. At this time, only developer forum members can opt in. To opt in, DevForum members will have to reply to this specific post and follow the format.

Some beta features are also available to all users in Roblox Studio and are not restricted to members of the beta program.

Features in beta
The following is a list of features that members of the beta program receive access to.

700 player servers
Members of the Roblox Beta have the ability to set up to 700 max players per server, although most popular games do not exceed 700 players in one server.

Webpage updates
Beta program members regularly receive updates to the Roblox website before these updates are made available to a wider audience. For example, the trade page and My Money page redesign were made available to beta program members early.
