Roblox Introduces Age-Based Account Tiers with Enhanced Parental Controls for Users Under 16

Roblox launched new age-gated account types in April 2026, creating 'Kids' accounts (ages 5-8) with disabled chat and access only to Minimal/Mild content, and 'Select' accounts (ages 9-15) with Moderate-rated games and gradual chat access based on age. The changes, rolling out globally in June 2026, give parents enhanced controls to block or approve individual games until age 16 and require developers targeting younger users to provide ID verification, two-step authentication, and a $4.99/month Roblox Plus subscription.
