Shutdown means an update, and the latest one landed on 7 Oct 2026
Dojo Empire's description says Shutdown equals Update. The Roblox Games API updated field read 2026-10-07 12:31 UTC on 8 October, up from 2026-09-29 at the previous check.
The first line of the official description is "Shutdown = Update!" Players should read a server shutdown as the studio shipping a change, not as the game closing. The description does not include a patch-note list, so a shutdown does not by itself say which hamster or price changed.
Two official timestamps, two different fields
| Record | Field | Value read on 2026-10-24 |
|---|---|---|
| Games API | created | 2026-08-19T02:31:53.203Z |
| Games API | updated | 2026-10-22T03:45:36.190Z |
| Games API (previous check, 2026-10-16) | updated | 2026-10-07T12:31:28.844Z |
| Develop API universe | updated | 2026-08-28T10:01:21.347Z |
The Games API value moved between the two checks, so at least one new build shipped by 22 October 2026 (the build before it was dated 7 October, which RoVitals also logged). Neither the description nor the Dojo Empire group shout lists what changed. Use the Games API updated value when you want the experience timestamp Roblox exposes with playing counts. The Develop API universe updated value is older and is a different record. This page does not pretend they are the same patch.

Online count and votes will not match this table an hour later. The created date and the universe id will. After a shutdown, re-read the description before trusting a tier list that claims a new hamster name. No official roster was published in the sources checked here.
