Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: you'll need to verify your age to continue enjoying MiHoYo's acclaimed open-world RPG. A recent announcement from MiHoYo mandates that all US players must complete age verification by July 18th, 2025, to comply with legal requirements and avoid severe consequences.

What are the stakes? Failure to verify your age could lead to your account being deleted, along with all your friends and chat records. Post-suspension, you won't receive any notifications to verify your account because, by law, the account information will become inaccessible.

The good news is that you have until July 2025 to get verified. However, the specifics of the age verification process remain unclear. It's hoped that the method will be straightforward and not overly intrusive, but this is a significant step towards regulating access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

Gacha! For those unfamiliar, the term 'gacha' stems from gachapon machines, known for their monetization model. While savvy players can minimize spending, the allure of gacha mechanics remains strong, echoing the era of loot boxes.

This change is likely to be welcomed by many players and parents concerned about younger gamers. However, it might pose a challenge for those who play intermittently. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, consider logging in before the deadline to ensure your age is verified.
