Roblox is rolling out new age-based account options designed to provide additional protections for children under 16. According to reports, the company introduces two account types—Roblox Kids and Roblox Select—intended to add restrictions and parental controls based on the user’s age. The changes are described as including stricter content filtering for younger users, with the goal of limiting access to certain experiences or communications. One outlet notes that the rollout follows the UK’s announcement of legislation related to social media and online games, in which lawmakers plan to require additional protections for children online. Another outlet reports that the age-based account system is now available globally, not limited to the UK. Both sources characterize the update as an expansion of Roblox’s existing safety tooling, with enhanced controls for parents or guardians and more tailored settings for under-16s. The rollout represents a shift toward age-tiered account protections as Roblox adapts to emerging regulatory requirements and platform safety expectations.
