Roblox has rolled out a new update that simplifies in-game controls, making it easier for players to quickly access important features like voice chat, text chat, and a revamped menu. This update is designed to improve the overall player experience, based on feedback from the Roblox community.
Since its launch in 2006, Roblox has become a popular platform where users can create and play various games. It attracts a broad audience, especially kids and teens, but also caters to gamers of all ages. The development team regularly updates the game to enhance player experience, and their latest effort focuses on improving in-game controls. This update follows feedback gathered from player surveys and conversations in their developer forum.

What’s New with the Controls?
According to an announcement on the Roblox devforum and Twitter, the latest update places voice and text chat at the top left of the screen, giving players quick access to communication options. In addition, the old three-dot menu has been replaced with a new “hamburger menu” (three horizontal lines), which provides a more organized way to access other features.
This change is currently live for PC and mobile users, while console players will receive it in a future update.
The redesigned menu doesn’t just look different—it’s packed with useful features. One of the key improvements is making the report abuse button more visible, placing it at the top of the new menu to ensure player safety. Other features like self-view, leaderboard, capture, and emotes are also now housed within the hamburger menu, streamlining the way players interact with the game’s features.

The development team emphasized that the goal is to create a more consistent experience across all platforms. Console and VR players can expect to see these changes soon, along with updates to the main Roblox menu to make it more user-friendly.
Other gaming sites, like GameRant and IGN, have highlighted how this update is part of Roblox’s broader effort to keep the game fresh and engaging. IGN praised the focus on player safety and ease of access, while GameRant pointed out that these changes reflect the increasing demand for better controls as Roblox continues to grow as a major platform.
The update signals that Roblox is listening to its community and making adjustments to enhance gameplay, making it easier for everyone, from casual players to dedicated fans, to enjoy the game. As more changes roll out for console and VR, Roblox continues to evolve, keeping it at the forefront of gaming for a wide variety of players.
With these updates, Roblox is proving that even small improvements to the user interface can make a big difference in how players enjoy the game.
