Are the rumors about Roblox shutting down true? Discover the facts amid the recent lawsuits and viral social media posts.
Rumors about a possible Roblox shutdown on September 1, 2025, are going viral all over social media amid the various child exploitation lawsuits against the gaming company. For those who are not aware, earlier this month, Dolman Law filed a lawsuit accusing them of child exploitation in a Georgia court. On August 14, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill also sued Roblox, calling it a breeding ground for predators.
On August 19, a post on X from a parody account titled Roblox Notifier (@RobloxNoobifier) shared a screenshot claiming that the popular gaming platform was shutting down on September 1. However, there is no official statement or announcement to back that claim. On top of that, the X handle is a parody account known for making spoof, satirical Roblox announcements. Meaning that the rumor is categorically false and Roblox is not shutting down any time soon.

@RobloxNoobifier’s post has over half a million impressions on X since it was posted. The post claims that there was an official notification from the company about a shutdown. However, as noted above, the account is not affiliated with Roblox, and the screenshot is of a fake announcement. So, fans of Roblox can rest assured that the company will not shut down on September 1st. xAI Grok’s comment about the post also confirms that the post is fake:
“No, it’s not true. Roblox has debunked similar shutdown rumors multiple times—it’s a recurring hoax with no official backing. Check their X for past clarifications.”

The parody account’s bio notes that most of the posts are “goof news.” @RobloxNoobifier’s bio on X reads as follows:
“Parody Roblox news, most posts are just goofs with some exceptions.”
Since the viral post, the account has also posted other unverified claims. Including a false post about Roblox CEO David Baszucki stepping down. That is also untrue.
KreekCraft Debunks the Rumors
Popular content creator KreekCraft, who recently left the Roblox Star Program amid the Schlep ban drama, also commented on the rumors. In a YouTube Short, KreekCraft debunked the viral post and said that it was not real:
“So I’ve seen the screenshot going around. Here is the thing, though: this image comes from a Twitter account called Roblox Notifier. And if you look closely, it is a parody account. This image isn’t real, Roblox isn’t shutting down.”
