Overview
- Roblox said Monday it will start Kids and Select accounts worldwide in early June for users under 16.
- Assignment will use facial age estimation or a verified parent, and unverified users will see only Minimal or Mild games with chat turned off.
- Games shown to minors must clear a three-step review that includes developer ID checks, two-factor security, and an active Roblox Plus subscription that launches April 30 for $4.99.
- Parents get new controls to block specific games through age 15, manage direct chat, and approve one-off exceptions for a child.
- Roblox says over half of daily users have completed age checks since January, while critics warn facial scans can be inaccurate and raise privacy concerns.
