Roblox is taking flight on Chromebook as the platform is giving a speed boost to the immersive gaming and creation platform.
Roblox continues to be one of the most popular game platforms on Chromebooks. And so Google has teamed up with Roblox to provide a speed boost to the platform’s performance and offer users some exclusive perks they won’t find anywhere else.
The team has been hard at work improving the performance of Roblox on a larger array of hardware. In particular, Google said it is excited about rolling out an x86 version of Roblox built specifically for Chromebooks where users can expect up to two times faster performance on x86 devices across all their favorite games and experiences. The boost is 15 frames a second or so.
That means smoother gameplay, quicker load times, and an overall better Roblox experience. Google is also giving Chromebook users two free, exclusive in-game items: First, a special Chrome jetpack for your avatar that lets you soar through the skies.
Next, players can redeem the “Chromebook Cruiser” in the popular Roblox game, Bloxburg– unlocking a hoverboard for super speedy ground travel. Normally, getting a speedy ride like this would take a while to get your hands on, but Chromebook users get it right away! Harness the speed and style of Chromebook, now in hoverboard form.
With this update, the Roblox team continues maximizing their reach on ChromeOS and optimizing their applications for the platform. And with Roblox’s massive library of community created experiences and games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
