Overview
- Roblox, in a Monday announcement, said users ages 5–8 will get Roblox Kids and ages 9–15 will get Roblox Select, with a global rollout targeted for early June.
- Kids accounts can only see games rated Minimal or Mild with chat off by default, while Select accounts reach Moderate content with chat introduced in stages based on age.
- Any game shown to users under 16 must clear developer ID and two‑factor checks, keep an active Roblox Plus subscription, pass real‑time moderation, and meet content‑rating rules that exclude social hangouts and free‑form drawing by default.
- Parents gain more control through age 15, including the ability to block specific games, manage direct chat settings, and grant per‑game approvals.
- Roblox says more than half of daily users have completed an age check with an average error of about plus or minus 1.4 years for minors, and unverified accounts are limited to lower‑rated games with communication disabled.
