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 13, 2026.
Ink Game is a 100-player, round-based survival game inspired by Squid Game, with 24,430 players in-game and over 3.25 billion visits as of August 13, 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 only 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 the live prices verified on August 13, 2026. None of them are required to win — the game's actual power spikes come from free Powers you roll for, and you can stock up on the in-game Won currency using Ink Game codes. For the full picture of modes and progression, start at the Ink Game hub.
Ranked from the ones most players can skip up to the single most impactful purchase. Every price was pulled live on August 13, 2026.
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.
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.
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.
Private Server+ is 499 Robux and unlocks an admin control panel inside your own private server. The menu lets you respawn or teleport players, spawn items, and even set Won rewards — full control over a lobby you host with friends. It is the best pass in the game for content creators and groups who want to stage custom rounds, film showcases, or just mess around without random players. 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.

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 codes (free) — The in-game Won currency that VIP boosts can also be topped up for nothing using active Ink Game codes. If your only goal was more Won, codes get you there without the 649-Robux VIP pass.

Glass Manufacturer Vision (649 Robux as of August 13, 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 is the best all-round pick if you want permanent Luck, Won, and XP boosts instead of a single-round edge.
VIP costs 649 Robux as of August 13, 2026. It grants a permanent 25% Luck boost, 25% Won boost, and 25% XP boost, plus a custom shirt and pants color, a join announcement, and a VIP chat title. It is worth it for regular players who want faster long-term progression, but it does not directly help you survive any single round the way Glass Manufacturer Vision does.
It lets you see the safe panel on every step of the Glass Bridge round, exactly as a glass manufacturer would know which pane is tempered. Instead of guessing and risking a fatal fall, you cross the bridge safely every time. It costs 649 Robux as of August 13, 2026 and only affects the Glass Bridge round.
No. The strongest advantages — Powers like Quicksilver and Lightning God — are earned for free through Power Rolls, and no gamepass is required to reach any of the three endings. Gamepasses like Glass Manufacturer Vision make specific rounds easier, but plenty of players win with free Powers alone. See our Powers tier list for the best free options.
Permanent Guard (799 Robux as of August 13, 2026) lets you play as one of the pink-suited Guards whenever a guard slot is open, instead of a contestant. It is the most expensive pass and guarantees the Guard role without spending Won or waiting for a turn. It suits players who prefer enforcing the rounds over surviving them.
Gamepasses can only be bought with Robux inside the game's store — there are no free codes for them. You can, however, earn free Robux through reward platforms like Earnaldo and use it to buy any pass, and you can top up the in-game Won currency for free with Ink Game codes.
