Roblox is not shutting down. There have been viral rumors and fake announcements claiming that Roblox will permanently shut down on September 1, 2025, citing safety concerns and user demand. However, Roblox Corporation has officially denied these claims, calling them recurring hoaxes that surface every few years. The platform remains fully operational, continuing to support millions of players and developers worldwide. The rumor's circulation has been fueled by ongoing lawsuits, international bans, and scrutiny over child safety on Roblox, but no actual shutdown has been announced by the company.
