Roblox announced it will roll out new age-based account categories in early June, creating distinct digital environments for different age groups of its young user base. The gaming platform is introducing Kids and Select account types that will feature built-in safety controls tailored to specific age ranges.

The move comes as concerns about children's online safety continue to grow across digital platforms. The new account structure aims to provide age-appropriate experiences while maintaining enhanced protections for younger users on the popular gaming platform.

The Kids and Select accounts will operate as separate environments within the Roblox ecosystem, each designed with safety features appropriate for their respective age groups. The company has not yet disclosed specific details about what restrictions or features will differentiate these account types.

Roblox's initiative reflects broader industry efforts to address child safety concerns on digital platforms. The timing coincides with increased regulatory scrutiny and public pressure on social media and gaming companies to better protect minors online.

The rollout is scheduled to begin in early June, though the company has not provided a specific timeline for full implementation across its platform. Roblox has not yet announced how existing users will transition to the new account structure or what verification processes will be required.
