ROB RUN status FAQ
Direct answers to the questions players search for. Where public data cannot answer something, the answer says so instead of guessing.
Is ROB RUN down right now?
Read the board at the top of the status page. It combines the live Steam player count, official Steam announcements and player reports. A high count means people are playing; a collapse plus a service notice is the strongest warning public data can give. Until Kefir confirms an incident, any outage stays an inference.
Does a healthy player count mean the servers are fine?
No. The count is an aggregate for the whole game. It cannot verify your state, your queue, your region or your latency. If six figures are online and you cannot get in, the problem is far more likely local or account-side.
Where are maintenance and downtime announcements posted?
On ROB RUN's Steam community announcements, which this site reads through Steam's public news API. Kefir also posts on Discord and X, usually first during launch-week incidents. Steam is the machine-readable source; Discord and X are faster but not public APIs.
Why does the count sometimes show zero?
Steam's endpoint occasionally returns zero while its own cache rebuilds, or when the API call partially fails. That is why this site labels zero as an unconfirmed outage and keeps the previous successful reading visible with its original timestamp.
How often does ROB RUN wipe?
Every state lasts seven days from the moment it opened, then the Federal Raid converts plots, bases, weapons and cash into jail time and closes the state. Because states open all day, raids are staggered — there is no single weekly wipe time.
Does this site tell me when my server wipes?
Not per server: no public API lists state open times, so any site that claims to is guessing or scraping another site's guesses. Instead, read the lifetime above RUN in the main menu and use the wipe calculator — seven days minus lifetime is exact.
What is ROB RUN, exactly?
A free-to-play multiplayer crime sandbox by Kefir, in Steam Early Access since 4 November 2026. Players share states called Looty Bay, rob, run from police, build bases and accumulate cash until the seven-day raid. Windows PC only, Steam App ID 4262460.
Is this an official site?
No. It is an independent fan project, not affiliated with Kefir. It uses only public Steam data plus anonymous player reports, and every inference is labelled as an inference.
How the verdict is computed
One-hour baseline, a 35% / 60% drop ladder, report bursts, and a three-sample recovery rule. Every threshold and every blind spot is written down.
