Genshin Impact to start verifying US users\' ages

Author : Michael May 12,2025

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: MiHoYo has announced a mandatory age verification process for its popular open-world RPG. To comply with legal requirements, players must verify their age by July 18th, 2025. Failing to do so could result in severe consequences, including account deletion, loss of friends and chat records, and no further notifications for verification since the account will become inaccessible by law.

You have until July 2025 to complete this verification process. While the specifics of how age verification will be conducted are not yet clear, it is a significant step towards ensuring compliance with regulations aimed at protecting younger players from accessing games like Genshin Impact.

The term "gacha" is well-known among players, originating from gachapon machines. These systems, much like their physical counterparts, can be quite lucrative for game developers. While savvy players can minimize their spending, the potential for significant expenditure remains, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

This age verification requirement might be particularly challenging for those who play sporadically. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, it's crucial to check in and complete your age verification before the deadline to avoid losing your account.

If you're considering returning to Genshin Impact to verify your age, take a moment to review our list of Genshin Impact codes for May. These codes can give you a free boost and help you stay competitive, as we regularly update our list with the latest promo codes.
