Account settings/Account Age

An Account Age is the age that the user's account is set to. When aging up, the user gains access to changes that include more features for users who are 13 years of age or older. The main purpose of this feature is to benefit older players who would play on Roblox.
Despite controversy among many Roblox users regarding the update and age restrictions, there is support by many users for some of the promised updates that are aimed for older players, including advanced Role Playing Games and FPS games with better integration.

Since July 2020, these items are no longer limited to 13+ users. Various gears, which are realistic ranged firearms, had been released with the 13+ icon as a part of the "Age Up" updates. Some of the items are the Trench Warfare Shotgun, the M1 Garand, and the Luger Pistol. What most of the available 13+ gears have in common are that they are actual World War II-era weapons.
During RDC 2021, it was announced that Roblox would implement features for 17+ users on the platform. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Roblox would see new users playing on Roblox, this would also increase the amount of older audiences on the platform. Due to this nature, Roblox stated that they would "Grow Up" without sacrificing the safety for their younger audiences.Roblox, the Gaming Site, Wants to Grow Up Without Sacrificing Child Safety New York Times, retrieved 19/10/2021
