The deal was supposed to run from October 28th to October 31st each day after 6:30pm EDT. There are also other activities to entice and entertain players like the Chipotle Boorito Maze where players can win Roblox avatar accessories. Players who show up late will instead receive a $5 off coupon. This code can then be used to purchase a free burrito in-person until November 14th. Players are instructed to “check in” at the cash register to receive their free code. Chipotle is offering a free “boorito” to the first 30,000 Roblox players who show up in a Chipotle-themed virtual costume to their in-game restaurant each day. The lure of a free burrito may actually be the true culprit. Some even claimed that Roblox posted a tweet that has since been deleted supposedly saying it is “shutting down forever.” There is no solid evidence that this tweet existed and Roblox Corporation has made no official statement that we are aware of.

Nevertheless, a rumor has spread that Roblox is gone. It is certainly not uncommon for games to crash and Roblox has reportedly experienced nearly ten major service disruptions already this year. Players are unable to access Roblox on PC, consoles, and mobile. According to its status update website, as of 11:44pm EDT on October 28th, “We the root cause as internal system issue and on the fix.” The incident is still active at this time and there has been no update since last night. Roblox noted there was an issue yesterday at 7pm EDT.

Roblox has confirmed that it is experiencing a service disruption that is impacting many players. The opening of Chipotle’s in-game store and promise of free burritos to players likely caused the outage. However, the truth may be even stranger than fiction. Could Roblox, the hit video game that is especially popular with children, be gone for good? The recent Roblox outage has sparked rumors that the game is officially shutting down.
