Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Genshin Impact players in the United States are facing a crucial requirement to verify their ages, or they risk losing access to their accounts in MiHoYo's popular open-world RPG. According to a recent announcement by MiHoYo, players must complete the verification process by July 18th, 2025, to avoid serious consequences.

What are these consequences? If players fail to verify their ages, their accounts will be deleted, along with their friends lists and chat records. Additionally, once an account is suspended, players will not receive notifications to verify their age because the account information will become inaccessible by law.

Fortunately, players have several months to complete the verification. While the exact method of age verification remains unclear, it is expected to be more rigorous than a simple declaration. This move is part of broader legal efforts to restrict younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

The term "gacha" originated from gachapon machines, and like their namesake, these games can be quite lucrative. While savvy players can minimize their spending, especially compared to the era of loot boxes, the gacha system remains a significant aspect of the game's economy.

This age verification requirement will be a welcome change for many players and parents of younger gamers, although it might pose challenges for those who play less frequently. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, it's wise to log in before the deadline to ensure your age is verified.
