Roblox is rolling out age-based account types starting June 2026 to provide age-appropriate access controls. Kids accounts (5–9) restrict gameplay to "Minimal"/"Mild" content with chat disabled by default; Select accounts (9–15) allow "Moderate" content with parental-controlled chat; users 16+ get standard access, with "Restricted Content" limited to age 18+. The system uses age verification technology Roblox implemented in January 2026.
