Roblox is not officially getting banned or shutting down as of August 2025. Despite a viral rumor claiming that Roblox will shut down permanently on September 1, 2025, the company has officially denied these claims and labeled them as recurring hoaxes. Roblox continues to operate and is implementing stronger safety and moderation measures. However, Roblox is facing bans in several countries including Turkey, Oman, Qatar, China, and Kuwait due to child safety concerns and inappropriate content. Additionally, there are ongoing lawsuits in the United States accusing Roblox of failing to protect children from harmful content and predators. These controversies have increased pressure on Roblox to enhance its safety measures but have not resulted in a global ban or shutdown. To summarize:
- Roblox is not shutting down on September 1, 2025, despite viral hoaxes claiming so.
- The platform is banned in some countries citing child safety concerns.
- Roblox is facing legal challenges in the US and other regions.
- Roblox Corporation is actively upgrading moderation, age verification, and content safety policies.
Therefore, Roblox is continuing to operate amid these challenges without an official ban or shutdown date announced.
