Subscribe to our newsletter Roblox's efforts to scrub clean its really-quite-awful reputation for child safety continued yesterday, with an announcement that, come June, it will be introducing new age-based account categories for kids.The two new account types are Roblox Kids (for five to eight year olds) and Roblox Select (for nine to 15 year olds), and Roblox Corp says the goal for them is to "more closely align content access, communication settings, and parental controls with a user’s age."Kids will be assigned to their respective categories—or at least, that is the hope—either by Roblox's facial age estimation check or a verified parent.
