Genshin Impact Adds U.S. Age Verification

Genshin Impact is introducing age verification for players in the United States
Be sure to complete the verification process before July 2025 to maintain account access
Accounts that remain unverified by the deadline may face permanent deletion

Genshin Impact players in the United States must now verify their age to maintain access to their accounts in miHoYo's popular open-world RPG. According to a recent announcement, these changes are legally required, and players have until July 18, 2025 to complete verification and avoid penalties.

What happens if you don't verify? Unverified accounts will be permanently deleted, resulting in the loss of friend lists, chat histories, and all account data. Once suspended, players won't receive verification reminders since account information becomes legally inaccessible.

The good news is you have several months to complete the verification process. While the specific verification method remains unclear—whether it will involve more than just self-certification—this represents another step in ongoing legal efforts to restrict younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

Gacha!

For those unfamiliar, the term "gacha" comes from gachapon capsule toy machines. Similar to their physical counterparts, these game mechanics are designed to generate significant revenue. Though strategic players can minimize spending compared to the peak of loot box popularity.

While many players and parents will welcome this age verification requirement, it may inconvenience those who play less frequently. If you anticipate taking an extended break from Genshin Impact, it's wise to log in soon and complete age verification before the deadline.
