Roblox Will Age-Verify All Players Who Use Voice Chat By End Of Year

In: Gaming, News

Roblox developers announced plans to introduce comprehensive age verification for all players who wish to communicate in-game. The verification will use “a combination of facial age estimation technology, ID age verification, and verified parental consent.”

Roblox detailed the upcoming changes in a statement from chief safety officer Matt Kaufman, which it published on its website. In the statement, Kaufman claims the new methods will provide a more accurate age estimate than user input alone.

Once these system are in place, Roblox has promised to introduce more safety tools to prevent children from playing with adults who they don’t know in real life. The announcement touts that Roblox has introduced over 100 safety tools to the platform since January 2025, including an open source AI system called “Roblox Sentinel” that’s meant to detect early signs of child endangerment.

The announcement does not outline a more specific timetable for these changes or address any privacy concerns players may have.

“We hope this move sets a standard that other gaming, social media, and communication platforms follow,” the statement reads.

The change will make Roblox compliant with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which passed in early August.

These changes come after Roblox has come under legislative scrutiny. After a 2024 report from Bloomberg exposed a pedophile problem on the platform, Congressman Ro Khanna promoted a petition in August to demand that Roblox do more to prevent child abuse.

In March, Roblox CEO and co-founder David Baszucki responded to the allegations, saying, “My first message would be, if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox,” which prompted criticism from parents.
