Outlines
🎮 Roblox Hits New Concurrent User Record and Introduces Swearing Update
Roblox has achieved a new milestone with over 10.2 million concurrent users, surpassing their previous record of 9.6 million. This surge is attributed to popular game updates, particularly the collaboration between 'Dress to Impress' and 'Brat', which may have peaked at around 700,000 players. Additionally, Roblox is testing a new feature that allows users to create private group chats without the chat filter, although it's unclear who is eligible for this feature. Concerns about moderation in these unfiltered chats are raised, but it seems there might be some form of eligibility requirement in place.
🛑 Roblox's Group System Update and Free Items Glitch
Roblox is reportedly renaming 'squads' to 'group up', a feature that was once available but removed, allowing users to join games as a party directly from the website. This update is anticipated to resolve issues with joining friends in private games and improve the overall gaming experience. In another incident, free items were mistakenly made available in the catalog, and after being used by players, Roblox deleted them and issued refunds, even though the items were initially free. This peculiar situation has led to some confusion among users. Lastly, a glitch affecting the 'favorites' tab on many profiles has been ongoing for months, disrupting the organization of favorited games and causing frustration among users who rely on this feature for organization and personalization.

Transcripts
300,000 people apparently got uh hacked
and some Roblox players were a part of
that Roblox is releasing a pretty cool
update maybe soon and you can now swear
for some reason yeah it's really weird
and even more stuff in today's video
that I want to talk about after I ask
you to subscribe because every time you
subscribe my dig it's a gazillion times
better and for every five Subs I get I
will pet my cat all right without
further Ado let's get into the news
because there is a lot of news to talk
about with the first story being just a
pretty cool world record that Roblox uh
hit or not a world record but like a
record for Roblox themselves because
they hit 10 million concurrent users as
of uh me recording this video so yeah
here's the tweet that shows off roblox's
brand new highest CCU count with it
being 10.2 billion trillion players okay
not a billion but it is 10.2 million
players which is absolutely nuts I don't
know of any game that has had that many
players ever but I guess Roblox
themselves isn't a game they're a
platform so whatever but yeah Roblox set
another record this is this is very soon
after they set their previous record
like I don't know like 2 weeks ago at
this point where they got like 9.6
million people on Roblox at once which
is pretty cool now I think the reason
Roblox uh had so many players today is
because there was an abundance of
updates to a bunch of popular games with
the main one being the brat collab with
dress to impress which was absolutely
massive apparently I think they peaked
at like 700,000 players or something
maybe a couple million I don't even know
but as you can see uh this is the Roblox
RTC tweet about it where they say that
it is due to the DTI brat update which
has resulted in the biggest player count
to date which I couldn't find any proof
of this but I could believe it I think
uh cuz dress to impress is absolutely
massive same thing with the Charlie XCX
the both ginormous like powerhouses on
the internet and they came together and
I guess they almost destroyed Roblox
today but they did not Roblox held up
their servers did not go down and uh
they actually set a brand new record
today which is pretty pretty cool but
without further Ado we can now move on
to the swearing update because you might
have heard it by now but uh Roblox now
allows you to swear
kind of here's one tweet about the
situation that's going on with Roblox
RTC saying you can soon create private
group chats without the chat filter with
a screenshot of what it looks like when
you actually make one of these groups
where it actually just says right here
that you can create new chats without
filters now all members of this
conversation will be invited but some
are not eligible to join so yeah I'm
guessing you do have to be ID verified
on Roblox to access this or maybe you
don't I'm not really sure I I don't
really know what the eligibility is for
this but either way you can now finally
swear in text chat on the website in
like group chats and stuff now okay well
I actually don't know if the update is
out yet but it seems like some people
have access to this whole feature but
yeah I see a lot of people talking about
how they're getting invited to these
group chats I personally don't even see
this option on Roblox but yeah it seems
like some people are already getting
this feature which is pretty cool and uh
the fact you can turn off the the chat
filter in these group chats is kind of
cool but I just hope I hope that Roblox
is still moderating them you know what I
mean like I I hope that Roblox can still
moderate stuff in these group chats
which I guess it is still moderated it
just doesn't have the filter on it so
which I still think is a little bit um
you know irresponsible but I I guess
there is some sort of like eligibility
barrier here so yeah I guess that's kind
of like their their measures here is
that you need to be eligible to even
join these group chats and whatnot yeah
I guess we'll see what happens with this
uh yeah but now we can move on to the
next story which just happens to be
Roblox changing their uh group system
once again so I just talked about how
they have like a new group chat system
but apparently they're working on
something else that is group related or
not group related but like squad or
party related if that makes any sense
because Julian tweeted out this Roblox
seems to have renamed squads to group up
fairly recently some progress now if you
don't know what this is this is
basically a feature that has been uh
wanted for a long time on Roblox because
back in the day this was a feature on
Roblox but it got removed for some
reason but basically what the feature
was is that you could actually like
party up with people on the Roblox
website and whenever the host would join
a game it would make all the party
members follow that follow the host into
that game and it was just a really easy
way to actually play Roblox with your
friends but sadly that feature was
removed uh I don't really know why I
mean you never really know why on Roblox
they kind of just remove a lot of stuff
for no reason but either way it seems
like Roblox is adding this back which I
think could be pretty useful I guess
it's not like that big of a deal because
like to join friends right now all you
have to do is go to their profile and
click the join button but I guess maybe
this squad feature could bypass like
having your like experiences on private
if that makes any sense so then you have
to open your joins to friends to like
play games with them and whatnot and
also this could fix some problems where
where like sometimes you'll go to your
friend's profile and it'll just say
they're not in a game when they are but
yeah either way I think this is a cool
update and I can't wait for to come out
because I've been wanting it back on
Roblox for a long time but now we can
move on to the next story which is
something I missed but I find pretty
interesting so around a week ago there
was there was a bunch of free items
uploaded to the catalog like somehow
they weren't limiteds or anything they
were just uploaded free and you could
buy them and actually use them it wasn't
a glitch like you could actually use
these items on your characters now since
you aren't supposed to be able to make
items free Roblox did a delete these
items and they then also deleted it from
everyone's accounts yeah here's what the
items looked like I don't really know
what this says but it's just like a
colon 3 face that's that's all it really
is but yeah I guess now like a week or
so later Roblox is starting to send out
refunds for these items but the weird
thing is is that they were free so like
you shouldn't be getting refunds for
this but yeah here's like one message
example that I saw where it says credit
applied for Purchase made on 810 2024
for items that are no longer available
on 810 2012 before you purchased an item
an avatar clothing item that can no
longer be worn by your avatar the amount
you paid for this item which is the
amount of zero Robux has been credited
to your account oh thank you Roblox that
means a lot to me but yeah very uh
interesting that Roblox still refunds
free items I think we did kind of see
something like this back when Roblox
accidentally made headless free and
stuff like that I think they sent out
these messages as well but yeah that's
what's going on with uh that I thought
it was quite interesting and I want to
show it but now we can move on to the
next story which just happens to be a
glitch that I think is becoming more and
more more known by the public because
I'm starting to see tweets about it on
the daily but basically for a while now
I I'd say for like a couple months
roblox's favorites tab has been
completely broken on a lot of people's
profiles so basically if you favorite
any new games on Roblox there is a very
high chance that it will not be
organized in the right way so usually
when you favorite stuff on Roblox it
should go in like a chronological order
of when you last favored it in something
you know what I mean and the reason this
is a big deal is because a lot of people
would use this Strat y to uh organize
their favorites in a way that would
spell out certain sentences and whatnot
but now people can't really do that
because it's kind of bugged for some
people here's one tweet about it that
says hey buddy fix your favorites every
time I try to put my favorites in order
it doesn't work with a screenshot of
their thing that I don't know what is
that 21 Pilots I don't know but either
way yeah that I've seen this glitch
myself personally I have this glitch I I
literally can't organize my favorites in
the in a way that I want anymore and
it's been kind of annoying I mean I
don't really care that much but but
there has been count amounts of times
where I will favorite a game to play it
later and I'll go and look at my
favorites and it just won't be there
seemingly but it will actually be there
it's just like deeper in my favorites
because Roblox doesn't organize it
properly but yeah that's what going on
with this favorites glitch it is kind of
stupid and annoying and I don't know why
it's happening I don't know if it's on
purpose or not it has been around for a
couple months now but yeah either way
it's stupid at least my number one
favorite game right now is Munch land
cuz you know I think that's uh that's
that's what I'd want to be there to be
honest but now for the next story we
could talk about this thing that I've
been seeing just floating around Twitter
and whatnot and I don't know how
trustworthy this is but I I've seen it a
lot okay like a lot of news sites are
reporting on this which is quite rare
but basically there's like a story
floating around that
300,000 Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
users got hit by like malicious browser
extensions now the reason this has
something to do with Roblox is because
they mention Roblox in the you know news
story but if we scroll down and we
actually search up roblocks in this news
story we can see right here in an August
16th alert the cyber security agency of
sing Singapore said users using the
Google search engine download popular
software have been tricked into
installing extensions from lookalike
download websites such as the Roblox FPS
unlocker and VLC media player now it
then goes on to say that at least
300,000 users were affected with this
whole like thing that was going on but
obviously not all 300,000 users were
trying to get Roblox FPS unlockers that
was just a small percentage of other
people that got affected by like a huge
malware thing that was going on on
Google for some reason I guess if you've
downloaded a Roblox FPS unlocker in the
past like 2 weeks or so maybe make sure
and like check that the specific FPS
unlocker that you downloaded was like a
safe version but then again I don't
really think many people are downloading
FPS unlockers nowadays because uh Roblox
has it built in now so like you don't
even need an FPS unlocker okay yeah
pretty interesting
