Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Authore: SarahUpdate:May 27,2025

Genshin Impact players in the United States must verify their age to maintain access to their accounts in MiHoYo's renowned open-world RPG. As mandated by recent legal changes, MiHoYo has announced that all players need to complete age verification by July 18th, 2025, to avoid severe repercussions.

What are these repercussions? If you fail to verify your age, your account faces deletion, which means losing all your friends, chat records, and you won't receive any notifications to verify post-suspension as the account information becomes legally inaccessible.

Fortunately, players have until July 2025 to comply. While the exact process of age verification remains undisclosed, it is expected to be more rigorous than a simple self-declaration. This measure is part of broader legal efforts to regulate younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Age Verification AnnouncementThe term 'gacha' originated from gachapon machines, known for their monetization model, which some might call money-hungry. However, savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

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