The popular gaming platform Roblox is facing a long-term interruption starting on Friday and continuing through the weekend-which frustrates millions of children and parents who try to keep them busy and cope with pain. On November 1, Roblox announced the re-launch of the service via Twitter. Roblox tweeted on Monday morning that it is now back online. “The scariest part of Halloween this year is Roblox downtime,” Twitter user @NikilisRBX lamented.
In a statement on Saturday, Roblox said: “We believe we have determined the potential internal cause of the outage and there is no evidence of external intrusion. We are performing the necessary engineering and maintenance work to restore Roblox to normal operations. As soon as possible. ” Roblox said on Friday that the interruption is “not related to any particular experience or partnership on the platform.” This is apparently to eliminate rumors that the problem is caused by digital Chipotle’s free burrito giveaway on the Roblox platform.
For its part, Chipotle tweeted: “You are Miss Roblox.” On the Roblox platform, players can create their own games and play with other users. It became popular after the coronavirus pandemic closed schools and allowed children to stay indoors looking for activities.
According to data compiled by the social media consulting company Backlinko, Roblox has more than 43 million daily active users (up from 14 million in 2016), 40 million games, and 9.5 million developers. According to Backlinko, the most popular game on Roblox is “Adopt Me!”-it allows users to keep digital pets.
