Roblox is down right now due to a platform-wide service disruption caused by technical issues. This outage began on August 23, 2025, and has affected all Roblox servers and services including website, mobile, console platforms, and developer tools. The disruption coincided with the popular "Grow a Garden" Admin Abuse War update, which brought an influx of players that overwhelmed the servers, leading to error messages like HTTP error 529 and preventing users from joining games or using Roblox services. Additionally, there are widespread false rumors circulating that Roblox is shutting down permanently on September 1, 2025, due to safety concerns and user demand. However, Roblox Corporation has officially denied these shutdown claims, affirming the platform is not closing and is actively working to restore stability and improve safety measures.
