By Money Lord — Founder & Editor | Updated: August 16, 2026 · 8 min read

Ink Game sells exactly seven gamepasses, and they are not equal. If you only buy one, make it Glass Manufacturer Vision (649 Robux) — it hands you a free pass through the Glass Bridge, the round that wipes most of the lobby. Below, every pass ranked from least to most useful, with its real Robux price and what it actually does, as of August 16, 2026.

How Gamepasses Work in Ink Game

Ink Game is a 100-player, round-based survival game inspired by Squid Game, with 24,618 players in-game and over 3.26 billion visits as of August 16, 2026. You fight through deadly minigames toward one of three endings — Rebel, Final Fight, or Sky Squid Games — and everything you can buy for real money is a one-time gamepass tied to your account forever.

There are exactly seven gamepasses for sale, ranging from 199 to 799 Robux. Some hand you a concrete round-winning edge, some speed up your long-term progression, and a couple are pure cosmetics. Prices are set by the developers (the "games i think" group) and can change, so treat the numbers below as live prices pulled from the Roblox API on August 16, 2026. None are required to win — the game's actual power spikes come from free Powers you roll for. And to be clear about a common myth: Ink Game has no code system, so there is no way to top up Won with codes — see our codes verdict. For the full picture of modes and progression, start at the Ink Game hub.

One important distinction this page makes that most don't: the seven passes are not the only things you can buy. Ink Game also sells several in-game products that never appear on the gamepass list — Strong Push, Extra Pull, the Dalgona Lighter, Revive and Revive All. They are bought mid-round rather than from the store, and one of them is the single most cost-efficient purchase in the game.

Tip: Gamepasses in Ink Game are permanent, but Powers and Won are free. Before spending 649 Robux, roll Powers a few times and read our Powers tier list — a free Quicksilver or Lightning God changes your win rate more than most passes do.

The 7 Gamepasses Ranked

Ranked from the ones most players can skip up to the single most impactful purchase. Every price was pulled live from the Roblox API on August 16, 2026.

7. Custom Player Tag — 199 Robux

Custom Player Tag is the cheapest pass in the game at 199 Robux, and it does exactly one thing: it lets you set a personalized tag that shows next to your name. It is a flex, nothing more — it does not touch your survival odds, your Won income, or your Power rolls. If you stream Ink Game or want your friends to spot you instantly in a 100-player lobby, it is a cheap bit of identity. For everyone focused on actually winning rounds, it sits dead last because it changes nothing about the game you play.

6. Emote Pages — 199 Robux

Emote Pages also costs 199 Robux and expands your emote wheel to 8 slots per page across two pages, for 16 equipped emotes total instead of the default single page. It is a quality-of-life cosmetic for players who love dancing on eliminated rivals in the lobby or celebrating a Final Fight win. Like the Custom Player Tag, it has zero effect on your performance in any round — you are paying purely for expression. It edges ahead of the tag only because 16 emote slots get more day-to-day use than a static nameplate.

5. 2x Vote Count — 249 Robux

2x Vote Count costs 249 Robux and doubles the weight of your vote whenever the lobby decides to halt or continue the games. In theory that is real influence over the match's direction. In practice, most Ink Game lobbies are down to a handful of survivors by the time a vote matters, and a single doubled vote rarely swings the outcome in a full 100-player server. It is a niche pass that only pays off if you frequently play with a coordinated group trying to steer votes. For solo players, the impact is marginal.

4. Private Server+ — 499 Robux

Private Server+ is 499 Robux and unlocks an admin control panel inside your own private server. The menu is deep: kill or revive players, teleport or bring them, hand out any item, toggle invincibility, friendly fire, no-stun and no-cooldown, set speed from 0.1x to 5x, set health with no cap, toggle fly/noclip, and grant freecam (Shift + P). You can also pass panel access to another owner.

It gained three settings on July 20, 2026: Anonymous Mode, Hide Chat Bubble and Disable Emotes. More are confirmed, including setting the Red Light, Green Light lights by command, choosing the Mingle room number, pre-setting Dalgona cookies and Hide n Seek teams, and toggling player collision.

It is the best pass in the game for content creators and groups who want to stage custom rounds. The catch is that all of it only works in a private server, which is a paid Roblox feature on top of the pass, so it delivers nothing in normal public matchmaking. Great for hosts, useless for the average grinder.

3. Permanent Guard — 799 Robux

Permanent Guard is the most expensive pass at 799 Robux, and it flips the whole experience: whenever a guard slot is open, you can play as one of the pink-suited Guards instead of a desperate contestant. Guards enforce the rounds rather than survive them, which is a completely different, lower-stress way to play, and the pass guarantees you that role without spending Won or waiting your turn. Slots are capped at one guard per eight players, so even with the pass you can still be locked out of a full server. It ranks this high because it is the only pass that changes what you are in the match rather than giving a small stat nudge. It drops below the top two because it is a playstyle preference — if you came to survive the games, being a Guard is beside the point.

2. VIP — 649 Robux

VIP costs 649 Robux and is the best all-round value if you play Ink Game regularly. It stacks three permanent 25% boosts — Luck, Won, and XP — on top of cosmetic perks: a custom shirt and pants color, a join announcement, and a VIP title on your chat messages. The Luck boost improves your odds of pulling rarer Powers when you roll, the Won boost pads your currency income every match, and the XP boost levels you faster. None of it wins a specific round for you, but over dozens of games it compounds into meaningfully faster progression, which is why it edges out every pass except the one that directly saves your life on the deadliest bridge.

1. Glass Manufacturer Vision — 649 Robux

Glass Manufacturer Vision is the best gamepass in Ink Game, and at 649 Robux it costs the same as VIP while doing something no boost can match: it shows you the safe panel on every step of the Glass Bridge round. The Glass Bridge is one of the most lethal stages in the game — contestants have to guess which pane is tempered and which shatters under their weight, and a wrong step is instant elimination. With this pass you see what a real glass manufacturer would, so you walk across a round that culls most of the lobby without gambling a single jump. It only affects the Glass Bridge, but that round eliminates so many players that surviving it automatically pushes you toward the top of the standings. For a competitive player chasing the Final Fight, no other pass moves your win rate more.

Note: Ink Game lists only these seven gamepasses for sale as of August 16, 2026 (a hidden "testing" pass exists in the game's data but is not purchasable). If a new pass appears after a future update, we will add it here — the developer descriptions all state that gamepasses are subject to change.

In-Game Products: Strong Push & Extra Pull

This is the part almost every "best Ink Game gamepasses" list misses. Alongside the seven passes, the game sells one-off products bought mid-round rather than from the store, so they never appear on the gamepass list. Two are Strength upgrades, and one is the best Robux-per-benefit deal in the game.

Strong Push — 279 Robux

Strong Push grants +3 Strength levels permanently. It does not give you a stronger push tool, which is what the name implies and what most guides assume — it is a shortcut up the Strength upgrade track. You buy it during Red Light, Green Light, and it cannot be bought once you are at Strength 5.

The value depends entirely on when you buy it. Purchased at Strength 2, it carries you straight to Strength 5 — skipping roughly 2.2 billion Won or 747 Robux of individual upgrades for 279 Robux. That makes timing it correctly worth more than any pass on this page. Buy it too early and you waste levels you would have earned cheaply anyway.

Strength is worth having: it raises Push knockback, Tug of War QTE contribution, door-closing speed in Mingle, and all melee damage by 3% per level (18% at level 6). Level 3 unlocks Push in Red Light, Green Light; level 6 unlocks Throw Weapon.

Extra Pull — 99 to 1,495 Robux

Extra Pull grants +5 Strength permanently and is bought during Tug of War. Its price scales down as your Strength rises: 1,495 Robux at level 0, 996 at level 1, 597 at level 2, 289 at level 3, 99 at level 4, and unavailable at level 5.

Do not buy this before Strength 2 — below that it costs more than buying each tier individually. And at level 2 it costs 597 Robux for the same practical result Strong Push delivers for 279, so Strong Push is the better buy at almost every point. Extra Pull only makes sense as a 99-Robux top-up at level 4.

Also sold in-round: the Dalgona Lighter, Revive (39–79 Robux, revives you within a minute of dying, max 5 per game and 3 during Rebellion, unavailable after the Rebellion vote) and Revive All (499 Robux, revives every eliminated player still in the server). None of these are gamepasses, so none carry across matches.

Honorable Mentions

Some of the biggest advantages in Ink Game cost no Robux at all, and they deserve a place in any "best of" conversation:

Powers (free) — The real meta of Ink Game is its Powers, earned through free Power Rolls after winning games in the Final Fight, Rebel, or AFK World modes. Top picks like Quicksilver (speed), Lightning God, and The Doctor outperform any purchased boost. We rank them all in the Ink Game Powers tier list, so roll a few before you spend anything.

Won from play (free) — Ink Game has no code system, but Won accumulates fast from winning rounds, Daily Quests and duplicate Power Rolls (a duplicate Mythic pays 750M Won). If more Won was your only goal, you do not need the 649-Robux VIP pass. Our codes verdict explains why every "free Won code" list is fabricated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gamepass in Ink Game?

Glass Manufacturer Vision (649 Robux as of August 16, 2026) is the best value gamepass because it turns the Glass Bridge — one of the deadliest rounds — into a near-guaranteed survival. It marks which panels are safe, so you can walk across a round that eliminates most of the lobby. VIP costs the same 649 Robux and is the better all-round pick if you want permanent Luck, Won and XP boosts instead of a single-round edge.

What does Strong Push do in Ink Game?

Strong Push costs 279 Robux and grants +3 Strength levels permanently. It does not give you a stronger push tool, which is a common misreading of the name — it is a Strength upgrade shortcut. You buy it during Red Light, Green Light, and it cannot be bought once you are already at Strength 5. Bought at Strength 2 it takes you straight to Strength 5, skipping roughly 2.2 billion Won or 747 Robux of upgrades.

Can you get Ink Game gamepasses for free?

Not directly. Passes are bought with Robux in the game's store, and Ink Game has no code system at all, so there are no free codes for them. You can, however, be gifted one: open the store, press gift, and select a player, and the purchase goes to them instead of you. Earning Robux through a rewards platform is the other route.
