The Roblox Creator Marketplace will only show content from verified creators on your page by default as part of the new Roblox Studio update. This, combined with the new Creator Phone Verification system, is intended to make the Roblox ecosystem more secure for people browsing the Marketplace.
“Starting today, the Marketplace will only provide assets from creators who have verified a default ID or phone,” reads a post on the Roblox Developers Forum titled Marketplace Security Improvements. “This change will increase the safety and responsibility of all Marketplace users.”
Unverified creators can still upload their creations to the game sandbox, but users must choose to see those creations in their searches.
In addition to the updated default option, the Roblox Creator Marketplace has now also implemented a phone number verification system. Previously, Roblox required an image of an official identification document in order for users to be verified on the Roblox Creator Marketplace.
According to an update added to the original post on August 26, phone verification unlocks higher upload limits for Roblox Creator Marketplace contributions, just like ID verification today.
The post also notes that newly verified users can expect a slight delay before their assets appear on the market by default.
Youtuber Roblox Chiseled noted that this change may be a reaction to the recent proliferation of inappropriate content, especially regarding faces.
Although it is theoretically possible for verified users to download content containing malicious scripts, this will result in account suspension and they will not be able to create a new account associated with the phone number they used for the problematic account.
However, all of these changes show the steps Roblox has taken to make its platform more accessible and secure for everyone. The platform, like many others, struggles with moderation due to the breadth of content.
