Is Portal Sandbox down?
Latest answer: Roblox marked the experience public and active at 04:08 UTC on 30 Oct 2026, and RoWatcher also showed the return. The exact reopening time was not announced in the sources checked. Earlier snapshot, 03:15 UTC: Portal Sandbox was not joinable. The public universe record named it [MAINTENANCE] Portal Sandbox, set privacy to private, set it inactive, and left archived as false. The updated time on that record was 29 Oct 2026 at 23:51 UTC. The game page was unavailable in that earlier snapshot. The later review after 04:08 UTC returned HTTP 200.
| Source | Title | Playing | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roblox universe record | [BACK] Portal Sandbox; public / active | See games listing | 30 Oct 2026 04:08 UTC |
| Roblox games listing | [BACK] Portal Sandbox | 2,096; 2,042,500 visits | 30 Oct 2026 04:08 UTC; single-provider exact counts |
| RoWatcher latest | [BACK] Portal Sandbox | about 2K; about 2.0M visits | 30 Oct 2026 04:08 UTC |
| RoRizz latest | [MAINTENANCE] Portal Sandbox | 0 | 30 Oct 2026 04:08 UTC; still disagrees |
| Earlier universe record | [MAINTENANCE] Portal Sandbox | Not given (inactive) | 30 Oct 2026 03:15 UTC |
| Public games listing | [TITLE UNAVAILABLE] | 0 (placeholder while restricted) | 30 Oct 2026 |
| RoWatcher | [MAINTENANCE] Portal Sandbox | 0 | 30 Oct 2026 02:50 UTC |
| RoRizz | [MAINTENANCE] Portal Sandbox | 0 | 30 Oct 2026 02:52 UTC |
| Zing | [FIX] Portal Sandbox | about 1,900 | 29 Oct 2026 06:00 UTC |
The 0 visits and 0 playing on the restricted listing are placeholders. I do not mix them with RoWatcher's about 2.0 million visits. Votes and favorites still resolved: 6,227 up, 1,967 down (76.0%), and 16,080 favorites, both read on 30 Oct 2026. Those counters are on the player count page. The rename trail is on updates.
What the disagreement means
The 04:08 UTC Roblox and RoWatcher readings show the return; RoRizz still shows maintenance. Earlier readings show maintenance and zero players, and Zing shows an older [FIX] title with a busy server. Google's index has also shown an [UPDATE] prefix. I list the words that were observed. I do not sort them into a single official sequence, because caches and tracker clocks are not the same clock. Nothing in these pages says Roblox removed the experience.
If you need a match right now, start with games like Portal Sandbox. The download page explains why there is no offline copy to install while you wait. Home, download, and the codes page all read this same snapshot.

Why is it in maintenance?
