Roblox USK: You must be at least this age to play it

Roblox is recommended by the USK for children aged 16 and up. Parents can help ensure that Roblox remains a safe and entertaining experience for their children – regardless of the age rating.

Roblox USK: Age rating and what it means

Roblox is one of the most popular online gaming platforms in the world. Millions of players create, share and play games developed by the community every day. With its wide range of creative possibilities, Roblox appeals to both children and young people and offers a platform where users can not only consume but also create.

• In January 2025, the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body (USK) raised the age rating for Roblox from 12 to 16 years. This decision is based on concerns regarding insufficient measures for the protection of minors and increased incentives to buy within the platform.
• The USK emphasizes that the new age ratings are intended to provide parents with guidance on which games are suitable for which age groups. However, it should be noted that USK ratings do not constitute educational recommendations. Parents have the so-called parental privilege and can decide for themselves which media content is suitable for their children.
• In view of this update, it is particularly important for parents to closely monitor their children’s activities on platforms like Roblox and to take appropriate safety precautions.

Tips for safe use of Roblox

To make Roblox safe and age-appropriate, parents and caregivers can take some important steps:

• Customize account settings: Roblox offers numerous parental control options. Parents should review and adjust privacy settings to minimize contact with strangers and block inappropriate content.
• Set time limits: Regularly limiting gaming time helps to promote a healthy balance between online and offline activities.
• Have educational conversations: It is important to talk to children about online risks, such as inappropriate content or possible contact with strangers.
• Playing together: Parents can get actively involved by exploring the platform with their children. This way, they get a better overview of the content and strengthen their relationship with their child at the same time.
