How to Use Arcade in Compshop
Before You Buy Arcade Machines
Arcade machines are a mid-game investment in Compshop. Complete the tutorial first, redeem active promo codes, and ensure at least two PC stations have decent parts installed. Without baseline PC income, arcade earnings will not justify the purchase cost.
Check that you have open floor space in your shop layout. Arcade units need walkable area around them — cramming machines into corners blocks customers from reaching your PC rows.
Step 1 — Open the Shop Menu
Launch Compshop on Roblox and enter your shop. Open the customization or build menu — the same interface used for PC parts and decorations. Scroll to the arcade category, which appeared in recent beta updates alongside mousepads and foods.
If you do not see arcade options, you may need to finish a tutorial step or update to the latest game version. Restart Roblox and rejoin if the menu looks outdated.
Step 2 — Purchase Your First Machine
Start with the cheapest arcade machine available. One unit is enough to learn the mechanic before scaling up. Compare the price against your current cash per minute from PCs — if the machine costs less than ten minutes of earnings, buy immediately.
Do not spend luck potions on arcade purchases. Potions are for PC part gacha pulls only — see our potions guide.
Step 3 — Place the Machine
Enter build mode and position the arcade unit near your entrance or between PC rows. Use the rotation controls to face the screen toward the main walkway. Confirm placement before exiting build mode.
Test the path yourself: walk from the shop entrance to a PC station and verify the arcade does not block the route. Read our build guide for precise placement controls on PC and mobile.
Step 4 — Maximize Arcade Income
Arcade earnings scale with server traffic. Play on populated servers during Roblox peak hours. During x2 Cash events, activate a Double Cash Potion from the 555kvisits code for compounded earnings across PCs and arcade.
Add a food stall nearby so customers stay in the arcade zone longer. Pair with decorations to create a dedicated game corner — details on our full arcade page.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Buying multiple arcade machines before upgrading PCs is the most frequent beginner error. Another is placing machines in dead-end corners where visiting players never walk. Finally, ignoring events — arcade income during a normal session is modest, but during x2 events it becomes worth serious grinding.
