Roblox is currently facing temporary server outages and connectivity issues due to a broader problem affecting Amazon Web Services (AWS), which many major sites and games rely on. Players are experiencing difficulties launching games, joining parties, sending gift cards, and making microtransactions. These issues began around October 20, 2025, but are expected to be resolved within a few hours as AWS works on restoring service. This is the reason for what is happening to Roblox now, rather than a permanent shutdown or closure of the platform. In recent times, Roblox has been active with updates and new features, including new intellectual properties and improvements to its developer tools. While there have been viral rumors and controversies around safety and legal scrutiny earlier this year, Roblox continues to operate and develop its platform widely used by millions of gamers worldwide. Therefore, the current disruption is due to technical service outages, not a shutdown, and Roblox remains operational with ongoing updates and community engagement.
