To turn off Roblox VR, open the in-game menu by pressing the Esc key on your keyboard or clicking the hamburger menu button in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. From the in-game menu, select "Settings," locate the "VR" option, and toggle it to "Off."
How to turn off Roblox VR in-game
This is the fastest method for most players who accidentally enabled VR or are experiencing discomfort. While inside any Roblox experience, press the Esc key on your keyboard or click the hamburger menu button in the upper left-hand corner. This opens the in-game menu. Select the "Settings" option, then find the "VR" toggle and switch it to "Off." The change takes effect immediately, returning you to standard non-VR gameplay. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the device you're using, but the general process should remain the same.
Turning off VR on your device
If you cannot find the in-game VR setting, or want to disable VR system-wide, you can turn off VR capabilities at the device level. Open your device's settings menu, usually accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon, or by opening the settings app directly. Look for a "Virtual Reality" or "VR" section. In that section, you should see an option to disable VR capabilities or a toggle switch to turn off VR mode. Disabling VR here will affect not only Roblox but also other VR applications. If you cannot find the VR settings, go to your device's "Applications" or "Apps" section, find Roblox in the list, and look for VR-related options specific to Roblox to disable them. If you can't find the VR settings on your device, you can also try disabling VR mode through your device's app settings.
Disabling VR scripts in Roblox Studio
Developers who want to remove VR functionality from a custom game can do so in Roblox Studio. Open Roblox Studio and load the project containing the game you want to modify. Click the "View" tab at the top, then select "Explorer" from the dropdown menu. In the Explorer window, locate and expand the "Workspace" folder. Find a script related to VR or virtual reality, it may have a name like "VR Scripts." Right-click the VR script and select "Delete" from the context menu. Save your changes by clicking "File" and then "Save" or pressing Ctrl+S. Test your game to confirm the VR feature has been disabled. This method is for developers; players should use the in-game or device-level methods instead. You can always re-enable VR scripts in Roblox Studio by adding them back into your game.
