Summary
Roblox is introducing new account types for users under 16. The changes aim to enhance safety and user experience. Users will be assigned to either a “Roblox Kids” account (ages 5-9) or a “Roblox Select” account (ages 9-15). The new account types will provide more parental controls and features tailored to each age group. The move is part of Roblox’s efforts to improve its platform for younger users.
Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Roblox introduces “Roblox Kids” and “Roblox Select” accounts for users under 16. Because what every kid needs is another account type to keep track of. The new accounts promise more parental controls and age-specific features. Sounds like a rebranding of existing features to us. Roblox is just “evolving” its approach to user safety.
