Euro tumbles after unexpected resignation of new French Prime Minister
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), the $90 billion market cap gaming platform that has seen its stock surge nearly 200% over the past year, announced Wednesday a strategic partnership with the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) to implement standardized content ratings across its platform. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s robust 27% revenue growth in the last twelve months underscores its expanding global presence.
The integration will replace Roblox’s existing content maturity labels with region-specific ratings from recognized authorities such as the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States, Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) in South Korea, and Pan European Game Information (PEGI) in Europe. This move comes as the company continues its aggressive expansion, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value.
"We’re excited to partner with IARC and hope it will provide parents globally with more clarity and confidence regarding age-appropriate content," said Matt Kaufman, Chief Safety Officer at Roblox, according to the press release.
The new system will assign ratings that reflect local cultural norms across different regions, allowing parents and players to make more informed decisions about content suitability. Developers will use a single questionnaire to receive appropriate ratings for multiple territories simultaneously.
Patricia Vance, president of the ESRB and chairperson of IARC, stated, "With so many families engaging with Roblox, it is hugely beneficial to provide parents with trusted and familiar ratings no matter where they live."
The IARC system is used by nine rating authorities globally, including those in Brazil, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, North America, Indonesia, Europe, and Germany. These authorities collectively serve regions representing more than 4 billion people.
Roblox, which describes itself as an immersive gaming and creation platform, offers millions of user-created experiences to its community. The company stated that this partnership reinforces its commitment to safety and trust within its global user base.
The announcement did not specify an implementation timeline for the new rating system.
