Roblox recently introduced an update to allow swearing in certain 17+ games. However, this doesn't mean you can say or type anything you want without getting banned. Here's everything you need to know about using swears and cuss words in 17+ Roblox games.

Is Swearing Allowed in Roblox Games?

You can only swear in certain 17+ Experiences that have enabled strong language. Swearing can't be directed at any other user or used to bully and harass others. You can use strong language to express yourself after getting a jumpscare.

   You can use strong language only in some situations. If you're in a 17+ experience that has enabled strong language, you can use swear words as long as they are not directed at any other user. For example, shouting or typing a swear word in response to falling off the map would be allowed. Using swear words to bully or harass others is not allowed.

   • In all other experiences outside of 17+, swearing is prohibited and can get you banned.
