The Ministry of Digital Affairs and the RKN have requested law enforcement agencies to support the unblocking of Roblox in the Russian Federation. This move seeks to restore access to the popular online gaming platform, which has been subject to restrictions in the region.

The request highlights ongoing efforts by Russian authorities to navigate the regulatory landscape surrounding digital platforms. By involving law enforcement, the Ministry and RKN aim to address the technical and legal barriers preventing Roblox from operating freely within the country.

The collaboration between these agencies underscores the complexity of unblocking international digital services in Russia. No specific timeline for the unblocking process has been disclosed.

Roblox Corporation faces a class action lawsuit alleging that it misled investors regarding the impact of its age verification rollout on user growth and fiscal 2026 performance. Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announced that purchasers of Roblox common stock between October 30, 2025, and April 30, 2026, have until August 7, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. The case, captioned Mukherjee v. Roblox Corporation, No. 26-cv-05489 (N.D. Cal.), charges Roblox and certain top executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The complaint alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements by creating the impression they possessed reliable information about bookings growth expectations while minimizing risks associated with the age verification rollout. Roblox operates a global video gaming and social networking platform comprising the Roblox Client, the Roblox Studio, and the Roblox Cloud. The lawsuit claims the company relied too heavily on viral events to drive growth and failed to communicate potential negative impacts on platform ratings, engagement, and public perception.

On February 5, 2026, Roblox provided initial guidance of 22-26% bookings growth for fiscal 2026, which allegedly factored in anticipated headwinds from the age verification rollout. Defendants expressed confidence in the adoption of age-checking technology and "tremendous organic growth." However, the complaint alleges that enrollment in the rollout would taper quickly, leading to reduced on-platform communication, lower app store ratings, and a significant decline in organic growth.

On April 30, 2026, Roblox announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Management slashed bookings growth guidance to 8-12% and lowered margin expectations. The company disclosed that the age verification rollout had caused much more significant impacts to engagement and organic growth than previously suggested. Age check adoption had increased to 51% of global daily active users, up from 45% at the end of the previous quarter.

Following this announcement, Roblox's stock price fell more than 18% on May 1, 2026, closing at $45.13 per share. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff must move the court no later than August 7, 2026. Participation in the case is not required to be eligible for a recovery, and shareholders may choose to remain absent class members.
