Posted on August 13, 2025, 10:15 PM WAT In a surprising turn of events, Qatar has reportedly blocked access to Roblox, the popular online gaming and creation platform, as highlighted by *Dexerto* in a post on X earlier today (https://x.com/dexerto/status/1955730450854429132?s=12). The news, accompanied by images of the Qatari flag and the Roblox logo, suggests a potential shift in the country's digital landscape, raising questions about the future of online gaming in the region. According to *Dexerto*, the block may be linked to concerns over content, a sentiment echoed by the 2013 Global Information Technology Report, which noted that parental anxiety over inappropriate internet content in Qatar has historically limited technology adoption among children. This move stands in contrast to Qatar's previous collaboration with Roblox on the "Qatar Adventure" metaverse project, launched in November 2024, which saw over seven million visits in just eight weeks.
