The official status

Roblox in Malaysia

Talk of curbs began in late October 2025, after a nine-year-old in Johor allegedly attacked his younger brother over lost Roblox points. The communications minister said the regulator was studying whether about ten online games, Roblox included, should be licensed, and the women’s minister said a ban was being considered.

Roblox told Malaysia’s youth minister it would step up monitoring and cooperate with the authorities. No ban was announced.

In May 2026 the deputy communications minister said Malaysia’s under-16 social media restrictions wouldn’t cover major gaming platforms in their first phase, though that could be reviewed.

Staying private in Malaysia

Roblox works in Malaysia today. A VPN is still worth having: it encrypts your connection on hotel, café and airport Wi-Fi and keeps what you do online private from the network you’re on.

History

Changes for Roblox in Malaysia

No confirmed changes since monitoring began on 29 Sep 2026. When a block appears or lifts, and a re-check on several machines agrees, it shows up here.

Method

How we test

Every day, test machines on TM Unifi and Maxis home connections open www.roblox.com.
A failure counts only when it happens twice on the same network, while the site opens from other countries.
A change is published only after re-checks a few hours later and again the next day, on several machines per provider, confirm it. It’s dated from the first sighting.
Test machines caught getting around blocks, through a VPN or a filter-dodging tool, are set aside.
We test the website over home broadband. The app, calls and mobile networks can behave differently.
