Roblox Launches Age-Based Account Tiers with Real-Time AI Moderation Starting June 2026

Roblox CEO David Baszucki announced two new age-based account tiers launching globally in June 2026: Roblox Kids (ages 5-8) with disabled chat and access only to Minimal/Mild rated games, and Roblox Select (ages 9-15) with Moderate-rated games and gradual chat enabling. The platform will use its mandatory facial age-check mechanism alongside real-time AI moderation to ensure content matches maturity labels, while developers targeting younger users must provide ID verification, two-step authentication, and maintain a $4.99/month Roblox Plus subscription.
