Choose a Template
Various templates are available, so choose a template that matches the atmosphere of the city or game genre you want to create.

What to do if you can't create a game?
Try Restarting Your PC
If you are having trouble creating a game in Roblox Studio, try restarting your PC once. This may improve overall PC slowness or stuttering, potentially allowing you to create games.
Try Reinstalling Studio
Once uninstalling and reinstalling Roblox Studio, bugs within Roblox Studio may be resolved. If restarting your PC doesn't fix it, try reinstalling the app.
