How to make your Roblox game all ages

Updated 4 November 2026 · By ClipClip

The short answer

A new public game opens to age-checked players 16+ only. To open it to all ages: verify your identity, turn on 2-step verification, complete the whole content questionnaire with a Minimal, Mild or Moderate rating, pay a refundable 1,000 Robux fee (or keep Plus or Premium for 2 months), then reach 250 unique plays by highly engaged players within 60 days.

Who can play your game

AudienceAgesRatings it can see
Roblox Kids5 to 8Minimal, Mild
Roblox Select9 to 15, and anyone 9+ not age-checked yetMinimal, Mild, Moderate
RobloxAge-checked 16+Everything but Restricted (18+)

A game that answered only the first question gets Content May Vary and stays at 16+. A Minimal or Mild game can reach Kids and Select; a Moderate one, Select.

The steps, in the Creator Hub

Open your game, then Publish settings, Manage audience. It lists what's left and how many highly engaged players you have so far:

  1. Content rating. Publish settings, Content rating: answer the whole Maturity & Compliance Questionnaire, based on the most mature thing a player can meet in your game.
  2. Verify your identity. A government ID if you're 18 or older, facial age estimation if you're younger. On roblox.com: Settings, Account Info, Continue with ID.
  3. Turn on 2-step verification on your Roblox account.
  4. The fee or a subscription. 1,000 Robux per game, refundable, paid from the same page, or 2 consecutive months of Roblox Plus or Premium. If the subscription ends later, the game stays open to all ages.
  5. 250 highly engaged players. Unique plays by age-checked players within 60 days, checked hourly, then a safety review of the game.

For a group's game, the group's owner meets the account steps.

Getting the 250 highly engaged players

They have to be age-checked players 16+ who spend on Roblox, so they have to find the game while it's 16+ only. The threshold was 500 until 19 August 2026.

  • Roblox ads. The Engagement goal reaches age-checked highly engaged players whose sessions count toward the 250, at a higher cost per play than the Plays goal. It doesn't stop by itself at 250: pause it. Prices: how much Roblox ads cost.
  • Your own audience: clips on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, creators, friends. Viewers under 16 can't join yet, so aim at older players.
  • A first session that holds them. Playtime in your game is part of what makes a player count.

Or pay for an expedited review

For a timed launch, a refundable 50,000 Robux per game buys a safety review in about 48 hours instead of waiting for the 250 players. A minor issue restarts the clock once you fix it. After 90 days you can ask for the fee back if the game is in good standing and keeps 25 highly engaged players.

Questions

Why is my Roblox game 16+?

Every new public game opens to age-checked players 16+ first, while Roblox evaluates it. It reaches younger players once you meet the requirements and it gets 250 unique plays from highly engaged players within 60 days.

How do I make my Roblox game not 16+?

In the Creator Hub, open the game's Publish settings, then Manage audience: it lists each step left, from the content rating to the 250 highly engaged players, with your progress.

What is a highly engaged player on Roblox?

An age-checked player Roblox judges real from their account age, their playtime in your game and their spending: a purchase anywhere on Roblox in the last 60 days, plus time in your game in that window. They don't need to spend in your game.

Do I have to pay 1,000 Robux to make my game all ages?

Only without a subscription: 2 consecutive months of Roblox Plus or Premium replace the fee. The fee is refundable, unless the game is permanently removed for breaking Roblox's rules.

How long does it take?

There's no fixed time: Roblox checks the count every hour, and the game qualifies once it has 250 unique plays from highly engaged players within 60 days. A 50,000 Robux refundable fee buys an expedited review instead.
