Roblox experienced a technical outage today, August 28, 2025, which caused all Roblox servers—across website, mobile, and console platforms—to be down temporarily. Users encountered an HTTP error (error code 529) when trying to access the game, and Roblox developers acknowledged the issue, assuring users that they are working to restore service as soon as possible. This disruption affected many aspects of the platform, including games, developer tools, and marketplace services. Roblox is not shutting down; the outage is due to a technical error and service disruption being addressed.

Additionally, there is ongoing community activism and controversies around Roblox's user safety, with a petition demanding the CEO's resignation gaining traction, but this is unrelated to today's technical outage. Also, Roblox recently set records for concurrent players, indicating high user engagement despite recent challenges.

No official announcement indicates a permanent shutdown; rumors about Roblox closing have been consistently debunked by the company. The platform remains active, and improvements to safety and moderation are ongoing.
