To save a Roblox game to the server, open Roblox Studio , click File , then choose Save to Roblox As and give the place a name. That stores the project on Roblox’s servers so you can reopen it later from My Games or Recent.

Quick steps

  1. Open your place in Roblox Studio.
  2. Go to File in the top-left corner.
  3. Choose Save to Roblox As.
  4. If it’s the first save, pick Create New Game and enter the game name.
  5. Click Save.

Important difference

  • Save to Roblox keeps the project on Roblox’s servers for editing later.
  • Publish to Roblox makes the game public so other players can join it.
  • If you are trying to save player progress inside the game rather than the Studio project itself, you need a DataStore system in scripts.

For in-game saving

If your question is about saving things like builds, levels, or inventory while players play, that is a different setup. Roblox developers usually use DataStoreService to store and load that data when players join or leave.

Common issue

If the game does not appear after saving, refresh My Games in Studio and check that you really used Save to Roblox , not just saved locally on your device.

TL;DR: In Studio, use File → Save to Roblox As to save the game to Roblox’s servers, and use DataStoreService only if you mean saving player data inside the game.
