Roblox is rolling out Roblox Kids and Roblox Select with expanded safety features for younger players

Roblox is bringing a major safety-focused update for younger players, introducing new age-based accounts, Roblox Kids, and Roblox Select. Rolling out in early June 2026, this system is designed to improve parental controls, content access, and communication settings. So, let’s dive into the details!

Roblox Age-based accounts overview

So, right after the announcement of Roblox Plus, they’re now introducing two dedicated account types for players under 16, and you, your children, or siblings will be assigned automatically based on age checks or parental verification. So, here are the two new ones:

1. Roblox Kids (Ages 5–8)

So, the first one is called Roblox Kids, which is obviously designed with safety in mind, keeping things very limited and controlled, like:

• They get access only to games rated Minimal or Mild and have cleared Roblox’s three-step selection process.
• By default, all sorts of communication are disabled.
• A distinct app design or background color to clearly show it’s a kid’s account.
• Access to a curated catalog with thousands of approved games.

2. Roblox Select (Ages 9 to 15)

Next up is Roblox Select, which is the slightly more flexible version, but still obviously curated:

• You get access to games rated up to Moderate.
• Similar dynamically updated curated catalog with selected games.
• Communication settings remain unchanged here, too.
• This, too, got a distinct visual treatment.

Roblox Accounts will automatically update as you grow

I personally like the global age-based account system a lot, as everything progresses automatically, so you don’t have to manually switch everything as you age. Well, here’s how it exactly works:

• You’ll automatically switch from Roblox Kids to Roblox Select accounts at age 9.
• After that, you’ll automatically move from Roblox Select to the standard accounts at age 16.
• However, if you haven’t verified your age yet, you’ll only get access to Minimal or Mild games, and communications will stay disabled.
• Once your age is verified, the account updates instantly.

And that’s not all as Roblox is not just limiting accounts, the team is also tightening how all the games are getting selected for the younger audience. In addition to the current moderation like  AI asset scanning, ongoing user report review, and multimodal moderation, there’s now an additional layer:

• Like continous review of games available to under 16 users.
• Dynamic catalog.
• Developer verification.
• Restrictions of content more suited for older audiences.
• And also extended content evaluation and rating.

Games that qualify for Roblox Kids and Roblox Select and parental controls

As you know by now, not all games will make the cut for these accounts as Roblox has set some evaluation criterias.

• Developer verification is now needed for Creators, including ID verification, two-step verification, and should have and active Roblox Plus subscription.
• The team evaluates the game in real-time and also monitors user reports.
• Each game will get a content maturity label: Minimal, Mild, or Moderate.
• Lastly, by default, these games won’t have any sensitive issues, social hangouts, or free-form drawing games.

Lastly, as a parent, you’ll also get more parental control with this upcoming update. So, let me list the new and extended elements:

• You can block specific games if you’ve kids up to age 15.
• You can also manage direct chat settings for the same age group.
• You can approve specific games manually which are not allowed by default.

Overall, I feel this new initiative from Roblox is really great as I think a controlled freedom like approach is required so that kids can enjoy games without worrying about safety. I also like how Roblox is shifting towards the the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) framework later this year.
