The U.S. gaming giant Roblox has announced its readiness to alter specific features of its platform in Russia, aiming to overturn a recently imposed ban by Russian authorities.

The ban, initiated by the Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, was primarily based on concerns regarding child safety within the virtual environment provided by Roblox.
