Roblox rolls out its new age-gated account tiers globally

Certain games and experiences are only available to teens and above.

Roblox Roblox has launched its age-gated account tiers globally, after a US rollout back in May. These tiers are mandatory and users get pushed into one depending on their age. The ages for these three tiers vary by territory, but in the US Roblox Kids is for children 5-8, Roblox Select is for tweens 9-15 and the traditional Roblox account is for everyone else.

These account types then align with the platform's various maturity labels, which are slapped on games and experiences. The Kids accounts only have access to Minimal and Mild experiences, and there's no option for chat. The Select accounts can also access Moderate content, in addition to Minimal and Mild. These users can also chat with people that have been vetted by parents or guardians.
