How to Make a Game Pass in Roblox (2026 Guide)

Want to monetize your Roblox game? Game passes are premium items players buy for special perks, abilities, or cosmetics. This guide shows you exactly how to create, script, and sell game passes.

What is a Game Pass?

A game pass is a one-time purchase that gives players permanent benefits in your game. Unlike Developer Products (which can be bought multiple times), game passes are bought once.

Common Game Pass Examples

Game Pass Type	Example
VIP Access	VIP room, exclusive areas
Double Currency	2x coins, gems, XP
Special Abilities	Fly, super speed, extra jumps
Cosmetics	Exclusive skins, trails
Gameplay Benefits	Extra inventory slots, pets
Convenience	Skip wait times, fast travel

Scripting Your Game Pass

Creating the pass is only half the work. You need to script what it actually does!

Basic Game Pass Detection

First, get your Game Pass ID:

1. Go to your game pass page
2. Copy the number from the URL
3. Example: roblox.com/game-pass/123456789 → ID is 123456789

Simple Game Pass Script

Put this script in ServerScriptService:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Replace with your Game Pass ID
local GAME_PASS_ID = 123456789

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
    local hasPass = false
    
    -- Check if player owns the game pass
    local success, result = pcall(function()
        hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, GAME_PASS_ID)
    end)
    
    if success and hasPass then
        -- Player owns the pass! Give them benefits
        print(player.Name .. " owns the VIP pass!")
        
        -- Example: Give them a badge or attribute
        player:SetAttribute("VIP", true)
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Double Coins Example

Give VIP players 2x coins:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local DOUBLE_COINS_PASS_ID = 123456789

local function getCoinMultiplier(player)
    local hasPass = false
    pcall(function()
        hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, DOUBLE_COINS_PASS_ID)
    end)
    
    if hasPass then
        return 2 -- Double coins
    else
        return 1 -- Normal coins
    end
end

-- When giving coins:
local function giveCoins(player, amount)
    local multiplier = getCoinMultiplier(player)
    local finalAmount = amount * multiplier
    
    player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += finalAmount
    print("Gave " .. player.Name .. " " .. finalAmount .. " coins!")
end

Speed Boost Game Pass

Give players super speed:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local SPEED_PASS_ID = 123456789

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local hasPass = false
        pcall(function()
            hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, SPEED_PASS_ID)
        end)
        
        if hasPass then
            local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 32 -- Default is 16
        end
    end)
end)

Prompting Players to Buy

In-Game Purchase Button

Create a button that prompts purchase:

LocalScript in the button:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local GAME_PASS_ID = 123456789
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(player, GAME_PASS_ID)
end)

Check & Hide for Owners

Hide the buy button if player already owns it:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local GAME_PASS_ID = 123456789
local button = script.Parent

-- Check ownership
local hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, GAME_PASS_ID)

if hasPass then
    button.Visible = false -- Already owns, hide button
else
    button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
        MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(player, GAME_PASS_ID)
    end)
end

Maximizing Game Pass Sales

1. Clear Value Proposition

Players should instantly understand what they get:

Good: “2x Coins Forever - Earn double coins from everything!” Bad: “Premium Pack”

2. Visual Showcase

Show the benefits in-game:

• VIP areas visible to non-VIP
• Trail effects others can see
• Special name tags

3. Fair Pricing

Research similar games:

• Check competitors’ prices
• Start lower, increase if popular
• Consider bundle deals

4. Strategic Placement

Put purchase prompts where players want them:

• When they run out of coins
• At locked doors/areas
• After showcasing benefits

5. Limited Frustration

Don’t make non-pass players miserable. Balance:

• Game should be fun without passes
• Passes enhance, not enable play

Testing Your Game Pass

Before Publishing

1. In Roblox Studio, go to Test tab
2. Click Start to play-test
3. Game passes won’t work in Studio test mode!

Testing Properly

To test game passes:

1. Publish your game (can be private)
2. Join the actual game on Roblox
3. Buy your own game pass
4. Verify benefits work

Note: You’ll spend Robux, but you get 70% back as the developer.

Roblox takes 30% of all game pass sales:

Player Pays	You Receive
10 R$	7 R$

Can players refund game passes?

Roblox may issue refunds in some cases, but it’s rare. Make sure your pass works correctly.

Common issues:

• Wrong Game Pass ID in script
