If your child suffered documented harm from compulsive Roblox use, individual video game addiction cases are still being reviewed — though there is no settlement or claim form yet.
Background: The Roblox Video Game Addiction Claims
Roblox came under scrutiny over allegations that its design was highly addictive and harmful to minors. The claims focused on manipulative mechanics embedded in Roblox, including in-game currency, continuous reward cycles, and limited parental control options, which were alleged to drive excessive play and spending among children and young users.How Roblox Was Alleged to Cause Harm
• Excessive screen time and social withdrawal• Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or emotional instability
• Physical strain like vision problems, sleep disruption, or repetitive stress injuries
• Decline in academic performance or missed school
• In-game purchases leading to unexpected financial strain
Where the Video Game Addiction Cases Stand
Video game addiction lawsuits are still active. Families have filed individual lawsuits alleging that companies behind games such as Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft intentionally used addictive design features to keep children playing and spending money. Lawyers tried to combine many of the federal lawsuits into one multidistrict litigation (MDL) proceeding, but the federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation rejected that request — first as MDL No. 3109 in June 2024, then as MDL No. 3168 in December 2025. The rejection did not dismiss the lawsuits; it only means the cases will not all be placed before one federal MDL judge. Individual cases continue in their original courts, related Northern District of California cases are being coordinated for discovery, and California state cases are coordinated as JCCP No. 5363 (Videogame Addiction Cases). There is currently no settlement, compensation fund or public claim form. Some law firms are still evaluating potential individual cases involving serious harm.Free settlement alerts

If your child also experienced mental-health harm from heavy use of Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, or Facebook, those platforms are part of a separate federal MDL (3047). See our Social Media Addiction Lawsuit page for eligibility on those claims, which can run in parallel with a Roblox case.Video game addiction cases are still being reviewed
There is no settlement claim form or federal MDL
Some law firms are still reviewing potential individual cases involving serious, documented harm. To find out whether you may have an individual case, you would generally speak with a licensed attorney who handles this litigation. Submitting information does not guarantee representation, eligibility, compensation or the filing of a lawsuit.
Separately, social media addiction lawsuits (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook) are a different, ongoing litigation — not a replacement for the video game cases.
