Overview

• By the end of 2025, age estimation will be required for anyone using voice or text chat on the platform.
• Users can verify by submitting a selfie for facial age estimation or an accepted government ID, with verified parental consent applied for minors.
• Roblox will add systems that restrict contact between adults and younger users unless they already know each other offline.
• A new partnership with the International Age Rating Coalition will replace Roblox’s maturity labels with regional ratings such as ESRB in the U.S., GRAC in South Korea, USK in Germany, and PEGI in Europe and the UK.
• The changes follow mounting legal and parental pressure over child safety, with Roblox citing AI moderation tools and expanded parental controls as part of its broader strategy.
