## What's new
Roblox announced two new account types so children only see age-appropriate games and chat.

## Account types
| Account | Ages | What they can play |
|---|---|---|
| Roblox Kids | 5 to 9 | Games rated "Minimal" or "Mild" |
| Roblox Select | 9 to 15 | Up to "Moderate" |
| Standard | 16+ | Everything |
| Restricted Content | 18+ only | |

- For children under nine, **chat is off by default**.
- The accounts roll out globally at the beginning of **June**.

## For developers
Developers under 16 must verify their ID or keep a linked parent account, plus two-step verification and an active **Roblox Plus** subscription.

## Roblox Plus
A new subscription at **$4.99 per month**, launching April 30.

Prices are in US dollars; prices in Kurdistan may differ.
