Roblox Accessibility Lawsuit (2023)
Background: In 2023, visually impaired users filed a lawsuit against Roblox, alleging that its
web and app interfaces were not compatible with screen readers or keyboard navigation,

flows, and overall screen-reader accessibility. The company committed to align future updates
with WCAG 2.1 AA standards .
Impact: This case extends ADA scrutiny to online gaming platforms, stressing that all
interactive digital services, not just retail, are required to be accessible.
