Roblox, has been down for MORE THAN 2 days now, but apparently, it has NOTHING to do with the massive Chipotle promotion!
Here is what we know so far…
Roblox Down More Than 2 Days
Roblox first experienced issues at around 7 AM on 29 October 2021, which initially affected only Games and Account Information.
⚠️ Looks like #Roblox is currently experiencing issues! We'll update you if we receive any further information. Services impacted: Games & Account Information.#RobloxDown ⚙️

But that snowballed and the entire Roblox gaming platform and website went offline, forcing them to issue a terse tweet saying that they are “working hard to get things back to normal”.
We know you’re having issues using Roblox right now.
We’re sorry and working hard to get things back to normal.

Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to be making much progress because Roblox has been down for more than two days!
That’s an eternity for an online gaming platform, especially a massively-popular one for kids… on a weekend!
At about 11 PM on 30 October, the Roblox website announced that it is “currently in maintenance mode to allow for internal work to be completed“.
More than 6 hours later – Roblox remained offline, with another round of assurance that they’re working on the problem :
Did they get locked out of their servers like Facebook earlier this month? Sounds far worse, if you ask me…

Roblox Went Down Not Because Of Chipotle
On 26 October 2021, Chipotle announced that it would open a virtual restaurant in Roblox, offering $1 million in free burritos!
Fans would be able to visit the virtual Chipotle restaurant to score a free burrito, by dressing up in new Chipotle-inspired Halloween virtual costumes.
They would also be able to navigate the Chipotle Boorito Maze to unlock exclusive Roblox items!
Some irate players have suggested that Roblox went down because of this Chipotle promotion, a hypothesis that had some teeth because the issues started occurring about 30 minutes after Chipotle promotion kicked off!
However, Roblox later claimed that the downtime was NOT related to the Chipotle promotion :
We know that this outage was not related to any specific experiences or partnerships on the platform.
At 5 AM on 31 October, Roblox shared that they “believe” they identified the problem :
We believe we have identified an underlying internal cause of the outage. We’re in the process of performing the necessary engineering and maintenance work to get Roblox back up and running ASAP. Thanks for your patience.
Well, Chipotle’s fault or not, kids and adults who are kids at heart around the world will be eagerly waiting for Roblox to get back online again!
Until then, enjoy these funny memes and comments by Roblox fans!
