Roblox content maturity provides information on the game's main details page about what kind of content the game contains so that players can make informed decisions about what they interact with. Learn more in the Parental Controls FAQ help article.
Roblox Kids and Roblox Select are account types for users under 16 that help match younger users with age-appropriate games by default. Parents can still use Parental Controls to manage content maturity settings and to allow and block specific games for their child’s account.
What happens when certain games are restricted based on their content maturity?
Using Parental Controls, parents can set the content maturity level for the child’s account, allowing the child to only join games that match or are below the level set. Games above the selected content maturity level may still be displayed in search results or advertised in ads, however, the games will not be playable. Users will receive a message stating the game is unavailable due to the content maturity restriction.
How are content maturity labels determined?
Roblox’s recommendations are grounded in child development research and informed by industry standards.
How do I configure my child’s content maturity settings?
You will need a Roblox account with parent privileges linked to the child’s account before you can configure the content maturity settings on their account. Learn how to set up additional protective features for your child in the Parents: How to Link a Child’s Account help article.
After your account is linked to the child’s account:
- Log into your account
- Go to Settings
- On desktop: Select the gear icon located at the top right
- On mobile: Select More located at the bottom right, and select Settings (gear icon)
- Select Parental controls
- If you have more than one child account linked, select the account you want to update
- Scroll down to Settings you manage and select Content restrictions
- Select Content maturity
- Choose the content maturity level for your child’s account. You can change the level at any time.
Users under 13 will have the ability to lower the content maturity level on their own account, but may require parent permission to select certain values.
How do Roblox Kids and Roblox Select affect content settings?
Roblox Kids and Roblox Select change what content is available to children by default based on age. Parents can still adjust content settings in Parental Controls, including Content Maturity. Depending on the child’s age and account type, parents may also be able to allow or block specific games. Access to some games and features may also depend on region.
Why do some games have a sensitive issue label?
The sensitive issues content label is applied to games that are primarily themed on current sensitive social, political, or religious issues. This label is not intended to take a stance on any of these issues. By default, users under 16 cannot access games that contain sensitive issues. Parents with a linked Roblox account can use Parental Controls to allow their child access to these games.
