Roblox users now will be required to undergo a facial recognition check before utilizing the Roblox chat feature for its 150 million daily players.

The new safety measure comes as Roblox faces criticism and at least 35 lawsuits alleging users meet and abuse children on the gaming platform or that the platform helps facilitate child sexual exploitation and grooming.

Roblox is among the most downloaded online games in the world, reporting millions of daily users from across the globe.

Facing pressure from states and families, Roblox will require players to use AI-powered technology that helps verify their age.
