Roblox fans are missing one of the platform's classic racing games, Checkpoint Racing, as it no longer functions properly. Launched in 2006, the multiplayer sandbox title is known for its iconic blocky style and vast array of player-generated games, with some hitting the mark and others not so much. While players can do much more than just create and play games, building and playing unique user-generated titles is still at the heart of the Roblox experience for its legion of fans.
Roblox continues to post impressive player numbers, securing its place at the summit of most-played games, with millions of daily users jumping onto the platform. Over the years, it has evolved in many ways, including improved graphics, better social features, and changes to its monetization system. The platform has also expanded to mobile, which now accounts for about 80% of its user base. Highlighting its mobile popularity, Roblox is one of the biggest games on TikTok. While players can't play games like Checkpoint Racing on TikTok, creators often share clips and gameplay highlights.
Hell's Kitchen Roblox Game is a Massive Hit
Gordon Ramsay is taking over Roblox with a new collaborative cooking game inspired by his popular ITV’s TV show Hell’s Kitchen.
A Redditor named MarcusTheRWSGuy recently shared a post expressing their disappointment over the fan-favorite Roblox racing game, Checkpoint Racing. They pointed out a major flaw in the latest version, where cars break into tiny pieces when players try to spawn them. Many in the comments echoed this frustration, reminiscing about how long the game has been around and how much fun it was before the issue emerged.
The Popular Roblox Game Checkpoint Racing No Longer Works Properly
Checkpoint Racing has a rating of 82% and nearly 13 million visits, placing it alongside some of the top Roblox racing games. While the game description mentioned in the post acknowledges the issue and notes that efforts have been made to fix it, the problem still occurs from time to time. It also explains that Version 5 was completely reworked, and the changes required a reset, causing players to lose their saved vehicles.
The creator of Checkpoint Racing, Wingman8, is also behind other popular Roblox games like Armored Patrol and Galleons. Armored Patrol is a tank battle game that emphasizes strategic, team-based combat, while Galleons is a pirate-themed adventure with a vast open world, drawing on similar themes to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Many Roblox games are inspired by big-budget console titles, like the Red Dead Redemption vibes found in Outlaws.
The performance of Roblox games is not just influenced by the design and build of the creator but also by Roblox updates. The game is regularly updated to keep things fresh and bug-free, but the most recent Roblox update has sparked a wave of backlash due to installation failures and a slew of bugs. Despite these issues, the game remains hugely popular, and while Checkpoint Racing may be lost forever for many fans, the platform still offers plenty of other games for players to enjoy.
