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 beloved open-world RPG. A recent announcement from MiHoYo mandates that players must complete age verification by July 18th, 2025, to comply with legal requirements and avoid severe repercussions.

What are these repercussions? If you don't verify your age in time, your account could be deleted entirely. This means losing all your progress, friends, chat records, and you won't even receive notifications to verify after your account is suspended, as the law prohibits access to the account information post-suspension.

The good news is, you have until July 2025 to get verified. While the specifics of the age verification process remain unclear—whether it'll be as simple as a 'pinkie promise' or more involved—this step is part of broader legal efforts to restrict younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

Gacha! It's no secret that the term gacha stems from gachapon machines, and like their predecessors, these games can be quite demanding on your wallet. However, savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially when compared to the peak of the loot box era.

This change will be a welcome relief for many players and parents concerned about younger gamers, but it might be inconvenient for those who don't play regularly. If you're planning a long break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in before the deadline to verify your age and secure your account.
