It's always nerve-wracking to disconnect from your favorite Roblox game in the middle of an important event or match. Which begs the question: Is Roblox down at the moment?
What is Roblox's current status?
As of May 18, 2024, Roblox is still experiencing issues—mainly 5XX ones (502, 504, and others). The server outage was caused by an influx of players in A Dusty Trip. Over 500,000 Roblox gamers entered all at once after the update, which was too much for the current load.
The Roblox devs are mitigating the issues and implementing solutions. Some players may successfully enter their games gradually so as not to overload the servers. Things should return back to a relative normal after a couple of hours.
More often than not, any 5XX error is not fixable by the user, meaning that it's just a waiting game until Roblox gets things up and running.
When will Roblox be back up?
This question is unanswerable at the moment, however, according to the official Roblox server status page, progress is currently being made to fix the issue. Within an hour, some users were able to enter their games, so we should be seeing a total fix within the next few hours at most. Considering the chaos that ensued during October 2021's massive outage, Roblox is likely extremely prepared to handle any kind of server issues moving forward, including this one.
