It is unclear at this time how long the disruptions will last, but the team is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
How do I know if Roblox is down?
The best way to check if Roblox is down is to use sites like DownDetector and IsItDown. These sites let users report outages and then when enough users say something is down, the site is checked for any issues. You can be sure that if DownDetector and IsItDown says Roblox is down, then it most likely is down.
There is also the Roblox Status Twitter that updates players on what is going on. Here is the most recent tweet.
Why is Roblox not working today?
From the message we receive from Roblox’s official status page, we know that the outage has something to do with the Avatar Editor Service Search. To quote the site:
“The Avatar Editor Service Search End Point will be temporarily unavailable while our engineers work to restore the catalog search services. We will send out an update once resolved.”
In the meantime, users are advised to check the official Roblox status page and social media channels for updates on the situation. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
We will update this story as we learn more but as yet there is no ETA on when things might be fixed.
