Roblox Introduces Age-Based Accounts for Enhanced Safety Measures
Roblox Introduces Age-Based Accounts
Roblox Corporation announced Monday that it will roll out new age-based accounts for young users, aiming to enhance safety measures on its platform.
Details of the New Accounts
- Users aged 5 to 8 will receive a Roblox Kids account.
- Users aged 9 to 15 will fall under Roblox Select.
- Under-9s will be barred from chat features.
- Those aged 9 to 15 will have limited chat access.
- Users turning 16 will gain full platform access, except for age-restricted content.
Background of Safety Initiatives
This change follows numerous lawsuits from families claiming that Roblox must do more to protect children from harmful content and communications with older users. Earlier this year, the company introduced an age verification system to help limit interactions between adults and minors.
Roblox, a platform used by over 150 million daily players, remains focused on enhancing user safety while providing a fun gaming environment.
