'We are working on getting things back online,' Roblox said Sunday.
To the dismay of millions of children — and the parents trying to keep them busy and cope with their anguish — the popular gaming platform Roblox crashed Friday, and the company was still trying to restore service Sunday.In a statement Saturday, Roblox RBLX, +1.53% said: “We believe we have identified an underlying internal cause of the outage with no evidence of an external intrusion.
On Sunday morning, the company tweeted: “We have identified root cause and solution. We are working on getting things back online and we will keep you updated throughout the day.” Roblox said on Friday that the outage was “not related to any specific experiences or partnerships on the platform.’’ This was apparently meant to quash rumors that the trouble was caused by a free burrito giveaway at a digital Chipotle on the Roblox platform.On the Roblox platform, players can create their own games and play with other users. It became wildly popular after the coronavirus pandemic closed schools and kept children indoors looking for something to do.
According to numbers compiled by the social media consulting firm Backlinko, Roblox has more than 43 million active users a day , 40 million games and 9.5 million developers. The most popular game on Roblox, according to Backlinko, is “Adopt Me!’’ — which allows users to raise digital pets.
