When I’m logged into my Roblox account, the registration date is 2/10/2024, but when log into another account or use Chrome incognito mode, the login date is 2/11/2024.
I’ve tested this issue on PC, Android phone, Chrome browser (PC and Android phone).
1. I log into my Roblox account either on Chrome or in the Roblox app, the registration date is 2/10/2024.
2. I log out and log into another Roblox account or use Chrome incognito mode and it says 2/11/2024.
Expected behavior
If everything worked correctly, my registration date should be 2/10/2024 whether I’m logged in with another account, incognito mode on Chrome, etc… I clearly remember making this account on February 10, 2024. I’m not sure where the 11 comes from…
It’s a time zone-related thing — for example, even if I don’t switch to incognito mode, it still shows 11/02/2024 in DD/MM/YYYY format, so it actually changes depending on your location and is technically correct.
Because, for instance, what’s 11 PM for me could be 2 AM for you if you live in a country further east, meaning you’re ahead in time since the world rotates from west to east — and that would show the next day for you. However, the same time could still be the previous day for someone living further west, since they start the day later.
I like your answer. However, the problem is that I am in the same location or timezone when I am logged in or not on the account and the date keeps changing from 10 to 11 when I am not logged in.
Most likely, when you’re logged in, Roblox uses your account’s time zone or region settings. But when you’re logged out or using incognito, it might switch to some default (like UTC), which can shift the date forward a bit — especially if your account was made late in the day.
If you’re curious, you can check what time zone your browser thinks you’re in by opening DevTools (F12), going to the Console tab, and typing:
Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
If it shows the same time zone in both cases, then yeah — it’s probably just how Roblox is handling dates differently depending on the session.
Yes, as far as I am aware, this is how dates are handled on Roblox. For the user, it’ll show up for their own time zone. However, at any other period of time, such as those listed, Roblox will default to UTC. An example of this can be seen in how the Roblox analytics page always updates at 12am UTC on the developer hub. All Roblox date processing from their end is as per UTC time. However, a user may be able to see the join date in their own time zone as a client sided thing.
Even if they set the created time a few hours earlier to align the time zone of the country you live in with Greenwich time on the same day, this is not a global solution. For a country located on a far-off meridian, the join date will still appear differently. It’s entirely geographic and a reality we have to accept.
