Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Genshin Impact players in the United States need to be aware of an important upcoming change: age verification is set to be mandatory. According to a recent announcement by MiHoYo, players must verify their age by July 18th, 2025, to continue enjoying this popular open-world RPG. Failure to comply could result in serious consequences, including the deletion of accounts, loss of friends and chat records, and an inability to receive notifications for verification after suspension, as required by law.

Fortunately, players have until July 2025 to verify their age, giving everyone ample time to comply. While the exact method of age verification remains unclear, it's likely to be more involved than a simple declaration. This step is part of broader legal efforts to regulate access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

The term 'gacha' stems from gachapon machines, known for their random prize mechanics, and much like these machines, games like Genshin Impact can be quite lucrative. Savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially compared to the era of loot boxes.

This change will be welcomed by many players and parents of younger gamers, aiming to create a safer gaming environment. However, it might be inconvenient for those who play sporadically. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in and verify your age before the deadline.
