To publish for all ages, you now need:
- Roblox Plus;
- ID Verification & Age Check;
- 2-Step Verification enabled;
- and have your account in "good standing".
Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts.
To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need:
- An account in "good standing";
- An age check; and
- An account that is at least 2 days old.
Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use.
Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.
