How To Make Gamepass Available Roblox
Learn how to create and publish a gamepass in Roblox so players can purchase unique perks, items, or access to special game content. In this tutorial, I show you the step‑by‑step process that turns a concept into a live, purchasable item.
1. Understanding Gamepasses
A gamepass is a one‑time purchase that grants players a permanent benefit within a specific game. Unlike premium passes that require a subscription, a gamepass can be bought by any user with a Roblox account.
- Permanent ownership after purchase.
- Can be used to unlock abilities, weapons, or special areas.
- Revenue is split 70/30 between the developer and Roblox.
Why Use a Gamepass?
Gamepasses provide a monetization path while keeping gameplay fair. They allow developers to fund updates, support servers, and reward players for spending time.

Before you start, make sure you have:
- A Roblox account with a Verified email.
- Roblox Studio installed and updated to the latest version.
- Access to a game you own or have edit permissions for.
