When will The Takeover portals unlock?

The Takeover is a team-centered event that hit Roblox on September 12, 2025. Unlike The Hunt, which was based on a solo experience, it requires players to create or join crews before completing tasks in specific games. Such games can be entered via portals in Tagtown, the event hub, which functions as the center of all event-related activities.

All portals in Tagtown will open at 5 pm UTC on September 12, 2025. At the moment, you can only skateboard all over the graffiti-coated Tagtown, check the games tied with each portal, and purchase Creator UGCs.
