The new safety measure comes as Roblox faces criticism and at least 35 lawsuits alleging users meet and abuse children on the gaming platform or that the platform helps facilitate child sexual exploitation and grooming.

Roblox is implementing a new safety measure that requires facial age verification to access chat features following its involvement in a lawsuit that accuses the gaming platform of causing harm to children.

Roblox will host a live Q&A session to answer questions regarding its third quarter 2025 results on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time/8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The webcast will be open to the public at ir.roblox.com or by clicking here.

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.

Roblox, under scrutiny for child safety concerns, will require users to verify their age through a selfie or an ID. They'll only be allowed to chat with others in the same age group unless they confirm they know the other person.

The move comes days after ITV News reported that teenagers were exposed to multiple examples of extremist content on the platform.
