Roblox Introduces ‘Kids’ Accounts for Ages 5-8 and New Game Rating System

In an effort to enhance safety for younger players, Roblox is set to launch its new ‘Kids’ accounts tailored specifically for users aged 5-8. This initiative, along with ‘Select’ accounts for older children aged 9-15, marks a significant step in the platform's ongoing commitment to child safety. Utilizing advanced facial-estimation technology, these age-locked accounts aim to create a more secure and age-appropriate gaming environment. The introduction of this system comes amidst growing scrutiny and legal challenges regarding user safety on online platforms. With these changes slated to launch in June, Roblox is underlining its intent to prioritize user safety while fostering a creative and engaging community for young gamers.
