We wouldn’t bet Robux on it.
Rumours about Roblox shutting down come and go, and we at RadioTimes.com have to do our due diligence to get to the bottom of them – so is Roblox shutting down in 2024?
Without giving anything away, there may be some wolf-crying going on – as is usually the case.
But if it were to close down, you’d want some excellent tunes to toast the end of the road, and we have the best Roblox song IDs to see out the supposed finale of Roblox.
There are also the best Roblox image IDs to get a good chuckle out of your Roblox pals.
But with so much user-generated content, it’s wise for parents to ask if Roblox is safe for children. If they do, then you’ll need to get clued up on everything about the Roblox login process and how to play Roblox on PS4.
Once you’re in, make sure you look the part with our Roblox shirt IDs. Just because it could be the end of Roblox shouldn’t mean that it’s the end of fashion, too!
But enough of our malarkey. Read on to see if Roblox is shutting down in 2024!
Is Roblox shutting down in 2024?
No, Roblox is not shutting down in 2024.
And why would it? Roblox revealed their Q3 2023 financial results on X (formerly Twitter), and it’s safe to say that the game makes a pretty penny despite being free to play.

$713.2 million is not to be sniffed at, especially when there has been a 38 per cent year-on-year increase. You can also see on their investor relations page that Roblox has 70.2 million daily active users as of 30th September 2023.
With all that taken into consideration, it’s safe to say that you will still be able to play Roblox for many years to come.
Where did the Roblox shutting down rumours come from?
As always, these sorts of rumours spawn from the deepest depths of social media, where users create “clickbait” content in order to drive engagement.
YouTuber sarriebearrie made a very funny feature, which we’ve included above, explaining and exploring this phenomenon where, owing to the younger audience of Roblox, many players fall victim to rumours and supposed leaks.
There are many fake tweets, too, from accounts purporting to be the developers, which get screenshotted and spread across TikTok.
“If I was a child on TikTok and I saw this on my ‘For You’ page, I would believe it… I see this tweet from Roblox. Why would I not believe it?” muses sarriebearri, which sums up how these rumours gain traction.
Many children will not have a Twitter account, and won’t necessarily be accessing the platform to find out if the tweets are real or not.
But don’t be quick to judge the naivety of youth. Cast your mind back to when you were in school and how quickly rumours would become fact.
Did you believe your jelly aliens would have babies if you put them in the same egg? We bet you did.
