What we know:
Roblox will pay $10 million over the next three years to fund youth programs in Nevada. The company will also invest another $2.5 million into online safety awareness campaigns and create a law enforcement liaison role to respond to threats involving minors, according to the report.
Additionally, on the platform itself, Roblox will implement a series of safety upgrades by mid-2026. Some of these include age verification for users, based on age-estimation technology and identification, and they will monitor account behavior to ensure no false information was given.
Roblox released a statement, saying in part, the agreement “is a testament to our ongoing mission to set the gold standard for online safety — one informed by our productive discussions with Attorney General Ford and leaders around the world.”
Roblox is one of the most widely used gaming platforms among children, with millions of daily users around the world.
