Roblox Kids & Select Accounts Explained — What's Changing in June 2026
On April 13, 2026, Roblox announced its biggest safety and account structure change in years: Roblox Kids (ages 5–8) and Roblox Select (ages 9–15) accounts — dedicated tiers for younger players launching in June 2026. Whether you're a player, a parent, or a developer, this affects how Roblox works. Here's exactly what's changing and what you need to know before June.
What's Actually Changing
Right now, Roblox has one account type for everyone. Age is self-reported at signup and determines some restrictions like chat filtering, but there's no structural difference between how a 6-year-old and a 16-year-old access the platform.
Starting June 2026, that changes. Roblox is creating distinct account tiers for different age groups, each with genuinely different access levels, chat functionality, and available game content. The goal is age-appropriate access — younger kids get a more curated and protective experience; older teens and adults retain their current access level.
The Three Account Tiers
| Tier | Ages | Access Level |
|---|---|---|
| Roblox Kids | 5–8 | Most restricted — curated game library, simplified experience, parental-managed |
| Roblox Select | 9–15 | Moderate — broader game access, age-appropriate content, some voice features |
| Standard Roblox | 13+ | Current system continues — no change for existing accounts |
The bottom line: if you're 13 or older on an existing account, nothing changes for you. The new tiers target younger players — newly created accounts for under-13 users, and optionally, existing under-13 accounts whose parent or guardian sets up the new tier.
Roblox Kids Accounts (Ages 5–8)
Roblox Kids accounts are designed for the youngest players on the platform and represent the most significant departure from how Roblox currently works for children:
- Curated game library — Roblox Kids accounts only access games that meet child-appropriate content standards. Not every Roblox game will be in the Kids library; developers must apply content maturity labels for their games to remain accessible to this age group
- Simplified and restricted chat — communication features are significantly limited, with fewer ways to interact with strangers
- Adapted interface — the Roblox UI is simplified for younger players, with larger navigation elements and a more guided experience
- Parental setup and oversight required — Kids accounts require parent or guardian creation and management through Roblox's parental controls system
Roblox Select Accounts (Ages 9–15)
Roblox Select is the middle tier — older children and younger teens get broader access than Kids accounts while retaining age-appropriate guardrails:
- Broader game access — Select accounts can play games not available to Kids accounts, though some content-rating restrictions may still apply versus adult accounts
- Expanded communication features — more chat options than Kids tier, with age-appropriate filtering
- Some voice chat features — voice chat is available at the Select tier with applicable content and safety restrictions
- Parental visibility — parents can configure and monitor Select accounts with more flexibility than the Kids tier allows
What Parents Need to Do
If your child currently has a Roblox account and is under 13:
- Nothing is required before June 2026 — existing accounts continue as normal until the new system launches
- In June, Roblox will provide a parental setup process to migrate existing younger accounts to the appropriate tier (Kids or Select)
- For new accounts created after June 2026 — if you set up a new account for a child under 13, you'll go through the Kids/Select setup from the start
The most important practical change: if your under-9 child was playing games that won't qualify for the Kids content library, they'll lose access to those titles on their Kids tier account. Checking which games are in the curated library before June will help set expectations.
What Players Need to Know
13 and older on an existing account: nothing changes for you. Your account type, access level, and the games available to you are completely unaffected by this change.
Ages 9–12: If you're placed on a Select account, your experience will shift to the Select tier's access level. Select is designed to be a full Roblox experience with age-appropriate limits rather than heavy restrictions — most major games should remain accessible.
Ages 5–8: If your parent sets up a Kids tier account, your game access will be limited to the curated Kids library. Popular family-friendly titles are expected to be in the library — but the final curated game list depends on developer content labeling decisions before June. Specific game-by-game Kids library status will be confirmed closer to launch.
What Developers Need to Know
The June 2026 launch requires action from Roblox developers who want to maintain their audience under 13:
- Developers must apply content maturity labels to their games before the June launch — games without labels risk defaulting to a higher restriction tier, effectively limiting their audience to Select and Standard accounts
- Games appropriate for younger players should apply for Kids-tier eligibility to maintain access to the 5–8 age group audience
- Games with any mature content (violence, scary themes, social risk) should accurately label for Select or Standard to avoid compliance issues
For games covered on BloxGuidesGG — developers like Upside Down (Grow a Garden), Night Café Studio (Fisch), and Rolve (MM2) will need to apply content labels to maintain their full player base. Most major titles are expected to complete labeling ahead of June.
FAQ
When do the Roblox Kids and Select accounts launch?
Roblox Kids and Select accounts launch in June 2026. The exact date within June was not specified in the April 2026 announcement. Roblox will communicate the specific launch date as June approaches.
Will my existing Roblox account be affected?
If you're 13 or older, no — your account is completely unaffected. The new tiers target under-13 users. For existing accounts under 13, parents will have the option (and may be required) to migrate to the Kids or Select tier in June.
Will kids still be able to play Adopt Me, Grow a Garden, or Brookhaven?
It depends on whether those games' developers apply for Kids-tier content eligibility before June 2026. Most major family-friendly titles are expected to apply — but developer decisions determine the final Kids library. Per-game Kids eligibility is not yet confirmed; this should be clearer closer to the June launch date.
What is the difference between Roblox Kids and Roblox Select?
Roblox Kids (5–8) is the most restricted tier: curated game library, simplified UI, very limited chat. Roblox Select (9–15) has broader game access, more social features, and some voice chat — closer to the current Roblox experience but with age-appropriate controls in place.
Why is Roblox making this change?
Roblox cited the need for genuinely age-appropriate experiences as the driver. The change reflects growing global regulatory pressure around children's online safety and Roblox's commitment to making the platform appropriate for its full age range — which includes players as young as 5. The announcement was covered by TechCrunch, NBC News, and Variety as a significant platform safety initiative.
