Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: you must verify your age to continue enjoying MiHoYo's renowned open-world RPG. A recent announcement from MiHoYo has set a deadline of July 18th, 2025, for this mandatory verification process, as required by law.

What are the stakes? Failing to verify your age by the deadline could result in severe consequences. Your account, including all friends and chat records, could be permanently deleted. Moreover, you won't receive any notifications to verify after your account has been suspended, as the account information will be inaccessible by law.

The good news is that you have until July 2025 to complete the verification process. Although the exact method of age verification hasn't been fully disclosed yet, it's clear this is a significant move towards complying with legal requirements to restrict access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

The term 'gacha' traces its roots back to gachapon machines, and just like those, modern gacha games can be quite the money sink. However, savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

This change is likely to be welcomed by many players and parents concerned about younger gamers' access. However, it might pose a challenge for those who don't log in frequently. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, it's wise to check in and verify your age before the deadline arrives.
