How Games Get Their Ratings

You might have noticed that Roblox games have different ratings. Here's how that works!

What Are Game Ratings?

Ratings help you know if a game is right for your age. They tell you about the content inside.

Roblox Age Recommendations

Games on Roblox have ratings like:

  • All Ages - Safe for everyone
  • 9+ - Better for kids 9 and older
  • 13+ - For teens and up

What Affects Ratings?

Games get higher ratings for things like:

  • Scary content
  • More realistic violence
  • Complex themes
  • Chat features with less filtering

Who Decides the Ratings?

Roblox uses a combination of:

  • Creator self-reporting
  • Automatic detection systems
  • Human moderators

Why Ratings Matter

  • They help you find games that are right for you
  • They help parents understand what you're playing
  • They keep younger players from content that's too mature

What to Do

  • Check the rating before playing a new game
  • Follow any rules your parents have about ratings
  • If a game feels too mature, it's okay to leave

Ratings Can Change

Sometimes games get updated and their rating changes. A game that was fine before might become more intense!
