Over the last few years, Roblox has become a leading platform within, and representative of, the expansive and ever-changing enigma that is our digital world—aka the Metaverse. By challenging expectations and pushing possibilities to the limit, Roblox has not only created a dynamic gaming platform for its players, but also an unparalleled exploration opportunity for thousands of developers. With the addition of Meta Quest compatibility, these developers can continue to break barriers and expand their collaborative efforts in ways that would have previously been viewed as impossible.
How to enter the Open Beta for Meta Quest’s App Lab
In the coming weeks, Roblox will be hosting an Open Beta for said Meta Quest compatibility, which will allow developers to receive relevant feedback from players who join their VR experiences. In the official DevForum post announcing the plan, the following was stated: "The Open Beta on App Lab is a vital time for our developers to experiment, learn, and iterate on their VR experiences before Roblox is ready for full release on the Meta Quest Store. Please note, the Open Beta will only support Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro devices."

A specific release date for the beta is unknown at the time of this article's publication, but with the Meta Quest 3 coming out in Fall 2023, I would assume it'll open up soon. Before you get too excited, however, I want to reiterate that this beta is only for developers who own a Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest Pro device; it is not for players.
How to play VR games on Roblox
Similar to the way that certain experiences on Roblox can only be played on PC, and not on Xbox or mobile, some experiences can only be played on VR. If you have a compatible VR headset, you should be able to join any VR-specific Roblox experience and play as intended. When the Meta Quest is fully integrated with Roblox, it'll be able to play with users on mobile, PC, Xbox, and other VR devices, so long as the experience allows it.

That's it for this quick guide on how to sign up for Meta Quest Roblox VR Open Beta. When the beta receives a release date and/or opens to the public, I will update this guide accordingly and include all relevant information.
