Roblox Plus Guide: Is the New Subscription Worth It in 2026?
In April 2026, Roblox retired its longtime Premium membership and launched a redesigned subscription called Roblox Plus. The change caught many players off guard, and the new structure is meaningfully different from the old Premium tiers. This guide breaks down exactly what you get with Roblox Plus, what the Plus Bundles add, and how to decide if a subscription is worth it for your play style.
What Happened to Roblox Premium?
Roblox Premium — the subscription that gave players a monthly Robux stipend and trading access — was discontinued for new subscribers on April 30, 2026. Existing subscribers were allowed to keep their plan, but canceling means losing the option to resubscribe to the old tiers. The replacement is Roblox Plus, a restructured membership designed around platform-wide benefits rather than a simple Robux stipend.
Roblox Plus: What the Base Plan Includes
Roblox Plus costs $4.99 per month. The base plan does not include a monthly Robux stipend — a significant change from old Premium. Instead, it offers a 10% discount on all Robux purchases made while subscribed (rising to 20% after three continuous months), free access to private servers in any game that supports them (a feature previously purchased per-game with Robux), and the continued ability to access the trading system. For players who buy Robux regularly, the discount can pay for the subscription cost.
Plus Bundles: Getting a Monthly Robux Stipend
For players who want the classic Premium experience of a monthly Robux deposit, Roblox introduced Plus Bundles: Plus 500, Plus 1000, and Plus 2000. Each bundle pairs the full Plus feature set with a monthly Robux allocation at a higher price point than the base plan. The bundles are the closest equivalent to the old Premium 450/1000/2200 tiers. If you were already spending that amount on Robux monthly, the bundle is generally more cost-efficient than buying Robux outright.
The Trading Requirement Under the New System
The requirement to have an active subscription to trade Limited items carries over to the new system — you need active Roblox Plus (any tier) to access the trade window. If you were a lapsed Premium subscriber hoping to trade, you will need Plus. This makes trading access a secondary reason to subscribe for players already interested in the item economy.
Is Roblox Plus Worth It for You?
For casual players who buy Robux once in a while, the base Plus plan ($4.99) is worth it mainly for the purchase discount and free private servers. Run the math: if you buy 800 Robux ($9.99) once per month, the 10% discount saves about $1 — not enough to offset the subscription cost. At the 20% discount (after three months), you save $2 per 800 Robux purchase, which starts to balance out. For active traders or players spending $10+ on Robux monthly, Plus is a net positive. For players who never buy Robux, it offers less value.
FAQ
Can I still get Roblox Premium in 2026?
No. Roblox Premium was discontinued for new subscribers in April 2026. It has been replaced by Roblox Plus. Existing Premium subscribers may retain their plan but cannot resubscribe if they cancel.
Does Roblox Plus give monthly Robux?
The base Roblox Plus plan at $4.99/month does not include a Robux stipend. You need to subscribe to a Plus Bundle (Plus 500, Plus 1000, or Plus 2000) to receive monthly Robux deposits.
Do I need Roblox Plus to trade items?
Yes. Access to the Roblox trading system requires an active Plus subscription, the same as it required Premium before. Any Plus tier (base or bundle) grants trading access.
What does the 10% Robux purchase discount mean in practice?
When you buy Robux while subscribed to Plus, you receive 10% more Robux than the standard rate — similar to how old Premium gave a bonus on purchases. After three months of continuous subscription, this rises to 20%. The discount applies automatically at checkout.
