Roblox is implementing a significant new policy requiring age verification for users who want to access games intended for those aged nine and older. This change comes as the platform rolls out two new account types: Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, designed to provide tailored protections based on age groups.
Users who do not complete the age verification process will be restricted to family-friendly games only. The move follows increased scrutiny over child safety on the platform, with Roblox aiming to create more secure environments for younger users while maintaining access to age-appropriate content for older players.
The new account system represents one of the most substantial shifts in Roblox's approach to user safety in recent years, potentially affecting millions of players worldwide as the platform continues to grow its user base across multiple age demographics.
