Posted on Reddit by eggforthrowing, a fan shared a laptop screenshot from their mom’s old device on the Roblox subreddit, displaying the game’s player and studio launcher from 2013. Since players usually update the platform’s launchers, this is a digital collectible to find and share within the community. In contrast to Roblox’s Prove Mom Wrong codes for March 2025, the Redditor’s mother did right by the player, having kept the platform’s old launchers intact on the laptop, and other players began discussing if the files were already archived.
Roblox Player Discovers 2013 Launchers on Mom's Old Laptop
A recent report stated PC gamers prefer older games, with 67% of player hours spent on at least 6-year-old titles, and it’s clear Roblox fans are of a vintage persuasion too, still cherishing the platform’s early launchers. One Redditor urged the OP not to update the files, highlighting that there’s a community of Roblox players who enjoy collecting every launcher. Another user, claiming to be the owner and current maintainer of the Roblox Client Search, invited the OP to the community’s server to assist them in finding the proper files needed off the drive and confirmed the 2013 files were not archived, much to the community’s delight.
With the platform maintaining popularity in 2025, a new Roblox zombie game is taking the player base by storm. Dead Rails has accumulated around a million fans in just three months because of the survival-adventure title’s pristine graphics and shooter-styled gameplay. Developer RCM Games is also keeping Dead Rails frequently updated with new challenges and classes, to support the approximately 700,000 active players frequenting the hit title.
