Love and Deepspace is set to implement a face verification system in China starting April 2025, aligning with the country's strict regulations on online gaming. This move may seem intense, but for Chinese players, it's part of an ongoing effort to comply with existing laws. If you're curious about how this might affect the global version, here's what you need to know.
Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?
The addition of face verification in Love and Deepspace is primarily aimed at preventing minors from accessing games rated 18+ in China. This game falls into that category, so the new system is a direct response to China's Minors' Protection Law, which seeks to address gaming addiction among young people. For years, China has been tightening its control over the gaming industry, introducing measures like playtime limits for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends—and requiring games to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' to encourage responsible gaming habits. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes, such as in airports and banks, making this step less surprising for local players.
What Does It Mean for Us?
For players outside of China, this update won't have any impact. The face verification system is specific to China's regulatory framework, and since Love and Deepspace is rated 12+ in most global app stores, there's no reason to expect similar measures to be introduced internationally. So, global players can continue enjoying the game without any changes to their experience.
