Today, in a client update designed to improve the gaming experience, a bug occurred that caused some requests to the servers to be concentrated in one area. Due to congestion in the area, some players are having issues logging in, creating new accounts, and accessing Minecraft and Roblox games. The team restored service by canceling the update.
We’ve made several improvements to the update process that will help catch these types of issues before they reach you. Thank you for your patience today while the team works on this issue, and thank you for joining us.
Meanwhile, Scott Van Vliet noted that the issue mainly affects PC players. Although there have been complaints from console users as well.
