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?
Thanks for the report, our teams are looking into it at the moment.
http://status.roblox.com/ has been updated to reflect the current status.
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
thanks hopefully everything is back to normal soon
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 sponsored my game too today. I hope that we get some form of compensation for this.
I had 300,000+ ROBUX In ads today and this has just happened.
I highly doubt this was unintentional as other games have received MAJOR player boosts? Was this an attempt to remove some creators?
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
Edit: SPOOKY🎃Ninja Tycoon (v4.2) - Roblox
This game above was getting around 17K hourly visits yesterday, now out of nowhere it is getting almost 95K hourly visits.
I have a feeling the algorithms have broke
Engineering companies don’t make changes in the middle of a night on a Saturday.
Don’t make up crazy conspiracy stories, be constructive in your feedback.
Seems like they are slowly reverting the search results hopefully everything will be back to normal soon
Unfortunately, I still cannot see my game. I am hoping that this will be addressed soon, happy to see that Roblox is making progress.
That is not true. Other games are still affected, your game is not the only one affected. Some sorts are still not what they used to be.
If we take the mobile sorts, it appears that some games got on there that was not supposed to. It looks like the Up-and-Coming sort on mobile is slowly being adjusted.
You’re right, my game is not the only one affected, my mistake. Hopefully it gets fixed for other people aswell, this has been a very frustrating day for us all.
The status page has been updated to state that the problem was solved.
It hasn’t been solved. My game and many others are still not being indexed.
