when will robloxs chat open in middle east

Roblox chat does not appear to have a public reopen date for most of the Middle East right now. Recent reporting says Roblox has kept chat off in much of the region while Arabic moderation and safety systems mature, and that this is still the current stance as of June 2026.

What the reports say

• Roblox has said chat will remain off in the majority of the Middle East until Arabic moderation is stronger.

• Coverage from April 2026 says the feature is still off while Arabic AI catches up.

• Roblox also introduced stricter global age-check requirements for chat in January 2026, which suggests the company is tightening safety before expanding access.

What that means

There is no confirmed ETA for a full return across the region based on the available reporting. In practice, the timing likely depends on when Roblox and local regulators are satisfied with Arabic-language moderation, age verification, and child-safety controls.

Regional note

Some Middle East countries have also had separate restrictions or blocks, which can affect whether chat or the platform is available at all in a given country. That means the answer can differ by country, even inside the same region.

TL;DR

Roblox chat in the Middle East is still mostly off, and the latest public reporting does not give a firm reopening date. The best current read is: it will return only gradually, and only once Roblox’s Arabic moderation and safety systems are considered ready.
