HoYoverse announced that US players of Genshin Impact will need to verify their age starting May 20, 2023, due to legal requirements stemming from a $20 million FTC settlement. This age verification will occur during login or account creation, with consequences such as account suspensions if not completed by July 2026. The settlement prohibits selling loot boxes to minors without parental consent and mandates declaring loot box odds and deletion of personal data for those under 13. Amid these changes, HoYoverse is also set to release new collaborations and game launches soon.
HoYoverse will initiate an age-verification process for US players beginning May 20, 2023, a requirement due to recent legal regulations and FTC settlement.
The FTC stated that 'Genshin Impact deceived children, teens, and other players into spending hundreds of dollars,' leading to HoYoverse's $20 million settlement.
