Understanding Game Copying in Roblox Studio
Copying games in Roblox Studio depends entirely on whether you own the game or have proper permissions. You cannot copy someone else’s published game without their explicit consent, as this violates Roblox’s Terms of Service and intellectual property rights.
Copying Your Own Games
If you’re the creator, copying your own game is straightforward. Open Roblox Studio, navigate to your published experiences, and select the game you want to duplicate. Click “Edit” to open it in Studio, then go to File > Save to Roblox As to create a new copy with a different name.
Using Templates and Starter Places
Roblox provides official templates and starter places that you can freely copy and modify. These include basic obbies, racing tracks, and showcase templates. Access these through Studio’s start page under “Templates” or “Recent” sections.
Copying Specific Elements
You can copy individual components between your own games:
- Models: Select objects in the workspace, copy (Ctrl+C), then paste (Ctrl+V) into another place
- Scripts: Copy script contents from ServerScriptService or StarterPlayerScripts
- UI Elements: Duplicate GUIs from StarterGui or PlayerGui
- Terrain: Use the terrain tools to copy and paste terrain sections
Team Collaboration
If you’re working with a team, the game owner can grant edit access to other developers through the Configure Game settings. This allows authorized team members to access and modify the game files directly.
Important Limitations
Remember that copying others’ games without permission can result in account penalties or legal issues. Always respect creators’ intellectual property and consider reaching out to ask for permission or collaboration opportunities instead. For those interested in exploring different gaming experiences beyond development, there are plenty of exciting options available to discover.
Who this is for: Roblox developers and Studio users wanting to duplicate or backup their own games legally.
