No, How to Fish is not on Roblox. Dazed Games ships it on Steam only. Here are the two Roblox clones, their place IDs, and what to play instead.
How to Fish Roblox: Is There an Official Version?
Short answer: no. There is no Roblox version of How to Fish. Dazed Games, the two-person studio behind the Steam hit (app ID 4001890), ships the game for Windows PC and has never put it on Roblox. Search Roblox for the title and you will find two third-party places wearing it: 86068599934040 by Fishy Business..., created on August 24, 2026, and 110768301350336 by flop king, whose description says it is "Inspired by How to Fish." Neither shares patches, lobbies or saves with the $7.99 Steam release.
What this page settles:
- The official answer and where it comes from
- Both Roblox places, with their permanent place IDs
- A side-by-side comparison of the Steam game and the clones
- Why the search results are full of Fisch, and the three real ways to play Dazed's game
The Official Answer and Where It Comes From
Dazed Games is a two-person studio, and How to Fish is its one big release: August 20, 2026, a million copies within two days, a peak of 373,971 concurrent players on August 26. Every patch since has shipped through one channel, the Steam news hub for app 4001890 — 1.0.4 raised lobbies from four players to eight, 1.0.11 added GeForce NOW support and Steam Deck Verified status on September 1, and 1.0.12 added Steam Cloud saves on September 4.
Nothing in that record mentions Roblox: no build on the studio's site, no place linked from the store page.

The Two Roblox Places Using the Name
Both places exist, and both borrowed the concept and the title. Here is what you are clicking on.
| Place title | Place ID | Creator | Created | What it says about itself |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [UPD] How to Fish | 86068599934040 |
Fishy Business... | 2026-08-24 | "You crashed your boat on a mysterious island... Catch every kind of fish, earn cash, buy weapons and gear, fight bosses to unlock the next island" |
| How To Fish | 110768301350336 |
flop king | Listed live as of 2026-09-22 | "A team-based fishing simulator... Beat overpowered bosses... Updates daily! Inspired by How to Fish" |
The timing on the first place is the tell. It was created four days after the Steam launch, and its description walks through the Steam game's loop in almost the same order: boat crash, fish for cash, buy weapons, beat a boss to unlock the next island, hunt rare variants. Third-party stats site Rolimons lists it at over 8.1 million visits and paid game passes: God Rod at 299 Robux, an AK47 at 199, VIP at 329 and a Minigun at 399. None of that revenue reaches Dazed Games.
The second place does not pretend otherwise. "Inspired by How to Fish" is written into its own description, next to weapons, overpowered bosses and a rowboat you have to fish your way off the island.
A Roblox place ID is the only stable identifier. Titles, thumbnails and descriptions on both listings get edited regularly, so the name you searched for may look different by the time you load it. The number in the URL is what stays fixed.
Steam Version vs the Roblox Clones
The honest comparison is lopsided. Dazed's game has a documented content list and published stats. The clones have keyword-stuffed descriptions and no item database at all.
| Feature | How to Fish (Steam, official) | The two Roblox places |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Dazed Games (Carl-Vilhelm Johansson and Melvin Olsson) | Third-party Roblox accounts |
| Price | $7.99 one-time | Free to join, monetized with Robux passes |
| Platforms | Windows PC, Steam Deck Verified, GeForce NOW | Roblox client: PC, mobile, console |
| Content scale | 5 islands, 54 creatures (43 regular plus 11 boss-tier), 18 baits and lures, 7 guns | Not documented anywhere we could verify |
| Boss range | Spider Crab at 750 HP up to the Mutated Bowhead Whale at 38,000 HP | "Overpowered bosses," no published stats |
| Multiplayer | 8 players since patch 1.0.4, plus private invite-only lobbies | Server size set by the place owner, 25 max on the larger one |
| Saves | Steam Cloud since patch 1.0.12 | Roblox DataStores, completely separate from Steam |
| Mods | No Steam Workshop; Nexus Mods and Thunderstore via BepInEx and MelonLoader | Not moddable |
| Achievements | Steam Achievements | Roblox badges, none listed on the larger place |
The multiplayer line matters most. The Steam game has supported eight players since August 21, 2026; the clones cap servers wherever their owners choose. There is no shared account and no version of "I bought it on Steam, can I play with my friend on Roblox."
Why Your Search Results Are Full of Fisch
Type "how to fish roblox" into Google and the top results are mostly not about Dazed's game at all. The biggest reason is almost funny: Fisch, one of the biggest Roblox fishing games, has a help section in its own description literally headed "[How To Fish]." It reads: hold down to cast your bobber, wait for a bite, shake your rod to attract fish faster, follow the blue line. Google matches that instruction block, so anyone searching for the Steam game's name lands on Fisch's tutorial text instead.
The rest of the noise follows the same pattern:
- Fisch — roughly 400,000 possible fish variations according to its own listing, a huge wiki at fischipedia.org and its own Fandom. The loudest source of confusion by far.
- Blox Fruits — fishing exists there as a side skill inside a much larger RPG, and its wiki pages rank for fishing queries anyway.
- Fishing Simulator! — a veteran Roblox fishing game with 10+ islands and 1000+ species.
- Go Fishing and Pull a Lucky Fish — smaller titles riding the same query.
Add it up and the results are dominated by Roblox-native fishing games that predate How to Fish, plus the two clones using its name. The query mixes three things: a paid Steam game, fan-made copies of it, and unrelated Roblox fishing games.
If You Want Fishing Inside Roblox
These games are not the enemy and they are not knockoffs of Dazed's title. If what you want is fishing that runs inside the Roblox client, they are the right answers.
| Game | Why people play it | Honest caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Fisch | Free, runs on PC, console and phones, a huge fish pool and steady updates | A long grind, and the rarest catches are luck-driven |
| Fishing Simulator! | The genre veteran: 10+ islands, 1000+ species, a click-to-cast loop anyone learns in ten seconds | Older systems and a slower update pace |
| Blox Fruits | Fishing as a side activity inside a big progression RPG | You play it for the RPG, not the fishing |
None of these involve a $7.99 purchase or the How to Fish team. They are the established Roblox fishing games.
Three Real Ways to Play the Actual Game
If you want Dazed's How to Fish specifically, no Roblox detour gets you there. There are three legitimate paths, and all three end at the same Steam copy.
| Path | What you need | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam on Windows | A PC that meets the requirements | $7.99 | Full experience, 8-player lobbies, mod support |
| Steam Deck | A Deck plus the Steam copy, Verified since 1.0.11 | $7.99 plus hardware | Handheld play with no streaming |
| GeForce NOW | The Steam copy, an NVIDIA account and a stable connection | $7.99 plus a GFN tier | Macs, phones, TVs and older laptops |
Our system requirements page has the spec table, the GeForce NOW guide walks the streaming route step by step, and the Android and mobile page covers what a phone can and cannot do. For what the game plays like before you spend anything, see the beginner guide.
How to Tell an Official Version From a Clone
Four checks settle it in under a minute:
- Publisher line. The Steam page lists Dazed Games. If a page lists another company, or a Roblox account, it is not official.
- Price. The real game costs $7.99 once. Anything free claiming to be the same game is a different product.
- Where it runs. The official build launches from Steam, GeForce NOW or a Steam Deck. If it boots inside the Roblox client, it is a Roblox game.
- Wording. "Inspired by" and "fan-made" are honest labels that also mean unofficial, and so is a description that mirrors the Steam blurb word for word.
A console version has been mentioned by the developers without a release date. That is separate from Roblox, and no Roblox announcement exists in any official channel.
FAQ
Is How to Fish on Roblox?
No. There is no official Roblox version. Dazed Games publishes How to Fish on Steam for Windows, with Steam Deck and GeForce NOW as the supported ways to play away from a desktop.
Are the Roblox How to Fish games made by Dazed Games?
No. The two places are published by Roblox accounts named Fishy Business... and flop king. The second states in its own description that it is "Inspired by How to Fish." Neither appears in an official Dazed Games channel.
Why does searching for How to Fish on Roblox show Fisch?
Because Fisch's own game description contains an instruction section headed "[How To Fish]," and search engines index that text. Fisch is a separate, much older Roblox fishing game with no connection to the Steam release.
Are the Roblox versions free?
Yes, both places are free to join, and they sell Robux game passes on top. The official game is a one-time $7.99 Steam purchase with no ads or microtransactions.
Can I play the real How to Fish on my phone?
Not natively. There is no Android or iOS build. GeForce NOW on a phone, or Steam Link from your own PC, are the two honest options.
Will How to Fish ever come to Roblox?
Nothing has been announced. The studio's public track record points at Steam PC first, with console mentioned but undated. Roblox has never come up in an official channel, so treat any claim that it is coming as unverified.
