Roblox will soon require facial age verification for all chat features, enforcing age-based communication groups and introducing major safety upgrades to protect younger users globally.

To enhance its safety measures, Roblox has become the "first" game platform to require age verification to participate in its in-game chat.

Facing pressure from states and families, Roblox will require players to use AI-powered technology that helps verify their age.

If Roblox users want to chat on the online gaming platform, they’ll soon have to verify their age by providing a government ID or by letting an artificial intelligence age estimation tool photograph their face.
