Published on June 9th, 2022

Roblox is one of the most popular games on all the platforms it is available and has over 200 million active players. However, fans recently spotted various articles and videos on the internet claiming that their favorite game Roblox might shut down in 2022. 

While some do not believe those, others are quite worried about the same. If you are one of them and are wondering if these speculations and claims are true or not, you can find your answer below.

Is Roblox shutting down in 2022?

You might find various YouTube videos or news articles on the internet that will talk about the overpopulation or investment issues making you believe that Roblox is getting shut down. However, you need not give any attention to them as they are fake, and Roblox is not going to shut down, at least not anytime soon. 

This is not the first time these rumors are flying around; however, the publishers have officially addressed these and have requested players to stay away from them and not believe anything about these fake rumors.

Let’s set things straight: Roblox isn’t “shutting down.” The same hoax (with a few details changed) goes around every year or two.

Remember: don’t believe everything y’all read on the internet! 😆

 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That said, there might be some games getting shut down because of various reasons like loss of the player base, decrease in funds, and more, but that is highly unlikely with popular games.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-137" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 leader-1 leader-1137 adtester-container adtester-container-137" data-ez-name="ginx_tv-leader-1"&gt;&lt;span id="div-gpt-ad-ginx_tv-leader-1-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px" class="ezoic-ad"&gt;&lt;script data-ezscrex="false" data-cfasync="false" style="display:none"&gt;if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'ginx_tv-leader-1','ezslot_15',137,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-ginx_tv-leader-1-0');</p><ul><li><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginx.tv/en/roblox/roblox-sonic-speed-simulator-card-location">Unlock Sonic in Roblox Sonic Speed Simulator - Card location guide</a></strong></li><li><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginx.tv/en/roblox/roblox-anime-dimensions-redeem-codes-free-gems-gold-boost-and-drop-boost">Roblox Anime Dimensions Redeem Codes: Free Gems, gold boost, and drop boost</a></strong></li><li><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginx.tv/en/roblox/astronaut-in-the-ocean-roblox-id-music-code">Astronaut in the Ocean Roblox ID - Music Code</a></strong></li><li><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginx.tv/en/roblox/roblox-rojutsu-blox-redeem-codes-free-experience-spins-and-more">Roblox Rojutsu Blox Redeem Codes: Free experience, spins, and more</a></strong></li></ul><p>So, you can keep on enjoying Roblox by creating new games, playing the existing ones, making new friends, and more without worrying about it getting taken down permanently.&nbsp;</p><figure class="img-figure" contenteditable="false"><img style="width:100%" contenteditable="false" alt="If Roblox will be shutting down, the publishers will announce officially on its social media handles" loading="lazy" ezimgfmt="rs rscb8 src ng ngcb8" class="ezlazyload" data-ezsrc="https://www.ginx.tv/respawn-cdn/4Gdo7ZdIqaL-enNIVWTrf2_00dG2ApTuClImynwoBEg/fill/0/0/no/1/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9yb2Jsb3gvdW5ibG9jay9pbWFnZTMuanBn.webp"><figcaption contenteditable="false">If Roblox will be shutting down, the publishers will announce it officially on its social media handles.
