How do you market a Roblox game?
Get it into the short-form feeds where players already watch Roblox, and keep it there. A good plan shows the game to the same people again and again, from different creators, across TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. It starts before the game opens and keeps going after launch day.
Below is the plan BloxClips runs for games. You can do parts of it yourself. The volume needs a creator network.
How do you get players on your Roblox game?
By getting people to see it more than once. Players rarely try a game after one video. They try it after the third or fourth, from a different creator, a few days apart. By then the game looks like something everyone's playing, and that hype is what makes people decide it's worth a try.
That's hard to do from one account, because one account reaches one audience. A clipping campaign puts the same game in front of viewers from many creators at once, so the second and third sighting happen on their own.
What are the steps?
- 01Find the moments that land in secondsA close finish, a rare find, a funny fail, a big reveal. If a stranger gets it without setup, it's a clip.
- 02Get footage earlyRecord raw gameplay before you need it. If you have none, BloxClips handles it, down to sending creators in to film it to your brief, and every creator works from that one library.
- 03Start before releaseGive viewers somewhere to go before the game is live, like a Discord. Kill Streak ran half of its campaign before release and gained 5,000 new Discord members within a few days.
- 04Go big in launch weekPut as many creators as you can into the release window, so the hype and the playable game land together. Kill Streak had 3,000+ creators posting in its first 10 days.
- 05Write hooks around real searchesBuild hooks and captions around the words your players search, so the feed shows the game to the right people.
- 06Keep the feed full after launchClips stay up on creators' accounts and keep getting views. Updates and events are new footage, and new footage is a new wave of clips.
- 07Measure players as well as viewsYour BloxClips dashboard shows every video's views over time. Put visits, concurrent players and Discord members next to it, so you know what the attention turned into.
What makes a Roblox clip work?
- A hook in the first line. The viewer should know why to keep watching before they can swipe.
- No setup. The moment makes sense without knowing the game.
- A native feel. Creator-made clips fit the feed they're posted in, so people watch them.
- Many voices. The same moment, cut by many creators in their own style, reaches different audiences.
Which channels should a Roblox game use?
| Channel | What it does |
|---|---|
| Your own account | A home base for updates |
| Clipping campaign | Your footage across many accounts, fast |
| UGC campaign | Fresh videos of people playing |
| One known creator | One trusted voice, one audience |
| Roblox Ads | Reaches people already on Roblox |
Your own account matters, but it reaches one audience. Clipping and UGC reach many at once, which is why they carry most of the plan. The services page explains both, and are Roblox Ads worth it? covers why clipping is the better spend than Roblox's own ads.
How much does it cost to market a Roblox game?
With BloxClips, you choose. You set the budget before launch and pay per approved view, at a CPM we agree with you up front, and invalid or suspicious views are filtered out first. Cost varies with the game and the goal, so we work it out with you on a call.
What doesn't work?
Waiting until launch day to start, and posting from one account. A game nobody has seen before release opens to an empty server, and one account can only reach the people who already follow it.
Running a creator campaign yourself has its own traps. Your accounts are new and carry no weight with Roblox viewers yet, so everything moves slowly. And anything that pays on views draws people who fake them. BloxClips creators already have warmed-up accounts with Roblox followers, and a team of real people checks every clip before its views count.
Footage is the other thing that holds games back: no footage, nothing to clip. BloxClips fixes that too: we handle the whole campaign, filming included. And if your game needs some explaining, short clips can do the hook while long-form creator videos do the rest, the way Bee Garden's did, with 500K+ long-form views.
What does this look like for a real game?
Kill Streak split its campaign across the release. Half of it ran before the game came out, and the Discord gained 5,000 new members within a few days. Across the 10-day launch window, 3,000+ creators posted 11,153 clips and the game passed 10M views. The Kill Streak case study has the full story, and how to launch your Roblox game zooms in on the release window.
