Roblox yearning boosts competitors
Despite the outage, Roblox only saw its average number of daily play sessions decrease by 33 per cent week-over-week, suggesting players were still hoping to access the game during the outage.

Among Us saw a surge in downloads during the Roblox outage, reaching a peak of 436,000 downloads on October 30th, up 44 per cent week-over-week and 19 per cent over the previous day.
