Roblox announces the rollout of Roblox Kids and Roblox Select accounts globally, with the features now available in India as part of a wider rollout that began in select markets. The company says the new account types are designed for users under 16 and provide age-based experiences, including age checks, content ratings, moderation systems, and parental controls presented as a unified safety framework. Digital Trends and NDTV report that the accounts include stricter content filtering and expanded tools for parents.
Times of India adds that the system places under-16 users into tiers aligned with appropriate levels of access, based on age verification through ID or facial age checks. It reports that Roblox Kids covers ages 5–8 and disables chat by default, while Roblox Select covers ages 9–15 and gradually loosens limits as children get older. It also says parents receive enhanced controls for blocking, screen time, and spending until the user turns 16.
PCGamesN notes that the move follows policy attention around child safety in online services, including related UK legislation on social media and online games. TechRadar describes the rollout as part of Roblox’s effort to improve child protection, without changing the reported feature set.
