Roblox is reorganising how younger players access games and communication with two new account types designed around age-appropriate defaults.
Roblox Kids and Roblox Select
Roblox Kids is aimed at players aged five to eight, while Roblox Select covers ages nine to fifteen. The system brings content access, communication settings and parental controls together at account level instead of asking families to navigate a scattered collection of options.
Roblox says age checks, content ratings and ongoing moderation will work alongside the new defaults. The company expects age-checked users under sixteen to retain access to the vast majority of their favourite experiences at launch.
Why the account layer matters
Safety tools are easiest to understand when they follow the player rather than each individual game. Clear age bands can give parents a more predictable starting point while still allowing Roblox to review which experiences belong in younger audiences.
The difficult part will be communication. Families need to understand what an age check changes, creators need stable rules for eligible experiences and teenagers need settings that feel protective without becoming opaque.
Guild take
This is infrastructure rather than a flashy game update, but it affects one of the world’s largest player communities. Roblox will be judged by how accurately the defaults work—and how easy they are to explain when something needs changing.
