VRChat staff have described age assurance rollout in stages. In a livestream in March 2026, the team stated there is no public timeline for broad rollout beyond [[VRC+]], while aiming for the most accessible and low-cost path possible.

	In December 2025, VRChat stated it is working to reduce the cost of age verification through negotiation, partnership, and optimization, without announcing a price point, and that its long-term goal—finances permitting—is to make verification free for everyone.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog">[https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/trust-safety-update-2025 "Safety, Freedom, and the Future of VRChat"] on ''hello.vrchat.com''; dated December 19, 2025; retrieved June 9, 2026.</ref> The same announcement ~~expects~~ [[Age Verification]] to function alongside reintroduced [[Content Gating]] in the first half of 2026.		In December 2025, VRChat stated it is working to reduce the cost of age verification through negotiation, partnership, and optimization, without announcing a price point, and that its long-term goal—finances permitting—is to make verification free for everyone.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog">[https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/trust-safety-update-2025 "Safety, Freedom, and the Future of VRChat"] on ''hello.vrchat.com''; dated December 19, 2025; retrieved June 9, 2026.</ref> The same announcement expected [[Age Verification]] to function alongside reintroduced [[Content Gating]] in the first half of 2026.

			In a June 2026 update, VRChat adopted the term "age assurance" as an umbrella covering both age verification and age estimation, and said it would lean more on estimation approaches going forward. It stated that the next rollout phase would begin in the United Kingdom—offered free of charge during an initial period and rolling out in waves over several months—while [[VRC+]] subscribers retain immediate access. VRChat gave no date for a wider rollout beyond the United Kingdom, again citing cost and coverage challenges.<ref name="SafetyUpdate2026">[https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/june-2026-safety-update "Update: Age Assurance, Content Gating, and Safety Improvements in VRChat"] on ''hello.vrchat.com''; dated June 24, 2026; retrieved June 25, 2026.</ref>

	=== Content gating reintroduction ===		=== Content gating reintroduction ===

	VRChat announced it will reintroduce [[Content Gating]] to limit access to content based on tags, with some content requiring [[Age Verification]] to view.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" /> ~~The~~ change is expected in the first half of 2026.		VRChat announced it will reintroduce [[Content Gating]] to limit access to content based on tags, with some content requiring [[Age Verification]] to view.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" /> At the time, the change was expected in the first half of 2026.

	The stated goal is a baseline expectation of content safety for public instances: public instances and non-verified spaces must be suitable for a general audience. VRChat described this as setting a clear standard for what content is permissible where, and as a tool to reduce exposure to adult or suggestive content in broadly accessible spaces.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" />		The stated goal is a baseline expectation of content safety for public instances: public instances and non-verified spaces must be suitable for a general audience. VRChat described this as setting a clear standard for what content is permissible where, and as a tool to reduce exposure to adult or suggestive content in broadly accessible spaces.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" />

			In a June 2026 update, VRChat said the first Content Gating change would begin in the United Kingdom, following the United Kingdom age assurance rollout by a few months. Users who are not age assured, or whose age is determined to be under 18, would have the "Sexually Suggestive" filter turned on with no option to disable it, with affected content hidden behind a placeholder. VRChat described this as the only filter category changing at that time, said it could extend gating more broadly later, and advised creators to tag affected content ahead of a grace period before enforcement.<ref name="SafetyUpdate2026" />

	=== Group moderation tools ===		=== Group moderation tools ===

	VRChat stated it is exploring ways to give [[Groups\|group]] owners and moderators stronger tools to enforce community norms and take consistent action against bad actors.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" /> No specific tools or timeline were announced.		VRChat stated it is exploring ways to give [[Groups\|group]] owners and moderators stronger tools to enforce community norms and take consistent action against bad actors.<ref name="TrustSafety2025Blog" /> No specific tools or timeline were announced.

			=== Age assured groups ===

			In a June 2026 update, VRChat stated it intends to build [[Groups]] that require members to be age assured as 18 or older to join. It described this as a feature planned for after the underlying age assurance systems are established, and framed it as a preview that is subject to change.<ref name="SafetyUpdate2026" />

			=== Public instance behavior system ===

			VRChat stated it is experimenting with a system aimed at reducing toxicity and bad behavior in public instances, which it described as one of the longest-running complaints about the platform. It framed this as part of a broader Trust & Safety effort that also includes growing investment, reducing the time between a report being filed and action being taken, and building systems intended to reduce harm rather than only react to it. VRChat distinguished this conduct-focused work from content tools such as [[Content Gating]], which can hide an avatar or world but cannot address how people behave. VRChat said it planned a dedicated post in July 2026 covering how the system works, how it was designed, and how the experiment would run, including how users could take part.<ref name="SafetyUpdate2026" />
