Roblox Launches Age-Based Account Tiers Requiring Developer ID Verification for Under-16 Access

CreatorSafety

Roblox CEO David Baszucki announced on April 13, 2026 that the platform will launch Roblox Kids (ages 5-8) and Roblox Select (ages 9-15) account tiers in June 2026, automatically assigned through facial age-check verification. Developers targeting younger audiences must provide ID verification, enable two-factor authentication, and maintain a $4.99/month Roblox Plus subscription, while parents gain individual approval controls for games. The changes respond to lawsuits from Louisiana and Texas attorneys general over child safety concerns.
