Roblox introduces 'Kids' and 'Select' accounts for age-appropriate access to games and chat | TechCrunch

"Users with Roblox Kids accounts will have access to games with 'Minimal' or 'Mild' ratings, which refer to content with occasional mild violence, mild crude humor, and occasional mild fear."

"Chat will remain off by default for children younger than nine. The only way someone with a Kids account can chat with another user is if their parent selects specific individuals their child is allowed to communicate with."

"Users with Roblox Select accounts will have access to games rated up to 'Moderate' and will be able to chat with users in a similar age group."

"Parents have the option to approve specific games for their children that aren't available under their account's default restrictions."

Roblox is launching new account types to provide age-appropriate access to chat and games for children and teens. Users aged five to nine will receive a 'Roblox Kids' account, while those aged nine to 15 will have a 'Roblox Select' account. Users aged 16 and older will maintain a standard account. Only users 18 and older can access restricted content. The changes include mandatory age checks and a transition period for existing users to complete the process. Parents can approve specific games for their children beyond default restrictions.
