The latest announcement from Roblox confirms that there will be a mandatory age verification on the platform for all users, regardless of age. Text and voice chats on the platform will temporarily be unavailable until users complete required verification.

Roblox says the solution will combine facial age estimation technology, ID age verification and verified parental consent.

Roblox announced that it aims to roll out age estimation technology to all of its users by the end of 2025. Users on the gaming and social network will have to confirm their age in order to access communication features within the platform under the new policy.
