From the last one year I have been playing roblox on my mobile.
I recently purchased roblox premium and was on my way to create something awesome.
However last week one of my friend told me that he purchased a Chromebook and he doesn’t know how to install roblox in it.
He was having some difficulties. So, he called me for the help.
Well, I asked around, searched the web and found some instant solutions.
If just like my friend, you are looking to play roblox on your Chromebook then this post is your only way to go.
Is It Possible to Play Roblox on Chromebook?
When my friend called me he was in full-on panic mode as he read somewhere that Chromebook does not support roblox.
After years long experience of Roblox, his worrysome reaction was quite common. So before I go ahead let me clear out this doubt for you – Can you play roblox on Chromebook or not?
Well, despite being one of the highest grossing video game, Roblox is available on only handful of devices.
So, is Chromebook there on the list?
Well, officially YES.
Every Chromebook that does come with the Play Store support can easily play roblox on their device.
However, what about those Chromebooks that does note have the Play Store support.
Well, don’t worry as going further, I will explain how to install roblox on Chromebook with or without the Play Store support.
So, continue reading the post to find out how.

The first one is with the help of Play Store and the second one is without the help of Google Play Store.
