Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: it's time to verify your age to keep your adventures in MiHoYo's beloved open-world RPG alive. According to a recent announcement from MiHoYo, you must complete the age verification process by July 18th, 2025, to comply with new legal requirements and avoid severe consequences.

What are these consequences? If you fail to verify your age, your account could be deleted, along with your friends list and chat records. Moreover, once your account is suspended, you won't receive any notifications to verify your age, as your account information will become inaccessible under the new laws.

The good news is you have until July 2025 to get verified. However, the specifics of the age verification process remain unclear. It's uncertain whether it will involve a straightforward method or something more intricate than just a 'pinkie promise'. This move reflects broader legal efforts to restrict younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

The term 'gacha' traces back to gachapon machines, and much like their real-world counterparts, these game mechanics can be quite costly. Yet, savvy players can enjoy the game with minimal spending, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

While this age verification requirement will be a welcome change for many players and parents, it might pose challenges for those who don't log in frequently. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, make sure to check in and verify your age before the deadline.
