October 29, 2021: It appears that game pages are back up and running, back we’re still unable to access the games themselves. We’ll update you if anything changes
It’s all going on with Roblox today. Actually, it’s not, and that’s the problem. The games platform is down for the vast majority of users, with only about 300,000 players having access as opposed to the usual three million users Roblox enjoys on a daily basis. According to a tweet from the Roblox status account, the platform has experienced issues since the early hours of this morning.
All over social media, Roblox users have been claiming they have no access to the platform, and it would be fair to say that the timing isn’t ideal, what with it being half term and all – think of the children. So, why is Roblox down today? For now, the reasons remain unclear, though the tech team that looks after the platform is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. It appears as though the impacted areas are games and account information.
Until Roblox is back online, all you can do is hold tight and know that the problem is being addressed, though some players still have access – perhaps you’re one of the lucky few that still has access to the thousands of games that Roblox boasts.
What happened to Roblox today?
We aren’t too sure, to be honest, except that it’s an internal system issue. However, given that some players still have access, it’s clear that Roblox isn’t suffering from a complete outage. But rest assured, soon as we know the reason, we’ll let you know.
When will Roblox be back up?
Again, we don’t know the answer to this, but the technicians are working on a fix. We’ll update this story as soon as we know when Roblox is back up and running.
From a tweet this morning, it’s clear that the situation was getting worse after the company received 13,000 reports of recurring issues.
