Yes, I am experiencing this bug also. Ontop of that, my front page is bugged and is only showing 5 or 6 games in sorts where there could be more than 10
Can confirm this. My game “Escape The World Obby” used to rank quite high on related search results. Now it’s totally gone, even when searching the full name.
Countless of other popular games (Jailbreak, Escape Prison Obby, Tropical Resort Tycoon, …) are having the same issue. Hope Roblox can fix it soon
Original games cannot be found anymore, it shows the copy-pasted fake games, example:
Searching for arsenal used to show arsenal at the top, but now it only shows the copies.
Apart from that, in the categories on the front page, it doesnt show many games, it only shows a few games, where before there were somewhere near 12, and now in many categories it shows less than 6.
Seems like Bloxburg is unaffected for some reason… even though both my game and Bloxburg have the larger name plate to signify that it’s legitimate. I’m baffled and frustrated, I’m losing valuable revenue which comes from people discovering my game both from sponsors and search.
Yeah even really famous and verified games are disappearing. And others aren’t. So I don’t know what’s happening.
I think it might have something to do with sponsorships not working either. So roblox quickly disabled everyone from making new sponsors to avoid more games getting this bug.
But games that already had sponsors running, are now experiencing the bug anyways. Did you have sponsors running too?
I am also having this bug, like 60% of my games have just disappeared from search results and some of them heavily relied on search results to get a decent player count
Yea I have the same problem here, most of the players find my game with the search so they really need to fix this soon. You can’t even find Pet Simulator X.
I am having a hard time understanding why my game doesn’t show up. I released my game 1 week ago and the game was searchable till yesterday under Tycoon but now the game is unbelievable hard to find. There is no way to search for the game, it just doesn’t show up under anything I search. It’s like the game got removed from Roblox, I used to have 500+ players now it’s about 200
A lot of games was taken off the front page, some people worked hard getting up there, spending much time and money to reach those spots.
The internal team should consider reverting the games back to what it was a day or two days ago.
From what I have seen a lot of games gained an unfair advantage, since less games are shown right now. A game that normally has 400 players has 1800 now…
And what will happen to the people who sponsored their games?
Yes this is very true, I have been looking at games on the site and due to this bug some games have seen a 3X gain in concurrent players due to other games being almost impossible to find
I somewhat doubt that as many reputable games are also undergoing this same problem, if anything the reputable games seem to be getting hidden and the dodgy/scam type games are getting promoted more as this bug is happening atm
