Introducing Sober

We're testing Sober, a brand new way to get Roblox on your Linux desktop. It's a novel approach, separate to other compatibility software like Wine, Android emulators, or virtual machines. Sober works by creating a specialized runtime just for Roblox's code, ensuring compatibility.

We'd like to stress that Sober is an experimental project. It's a passion project rather than production-grade code. It's not supported by Roblox and may be discontinued at any time. You'll probably encounter bugs or instability.

You can expect Sober's performance to be the same or better than the Windows client running natively on the same machine. Many users report performance that surpasses any official method of playing Roblox.

Sober is unfortunately closed-source. This could change in the future. We currently use GitHub as an issue tracker for Sober (and to host this site).

Sober is a labor of love, and we'd love for you to try it out! We hope you enjoy your time. You can join our Discord server for support.
