Love and Deepspace is implementing new facial verification for Chinese players starting April 2025, part of China's ongoing efforts to enforce age restrictions on mature-rated games. While this strengthens China's existing real-name verification system, international versions of the game remain unaffected.
Why Love and Deepspace Requires Facial Verification
China's gaming regulations already mandate real-name authentication, and the new facial verification specifically targets the enforcement of age ratings. With Love and Deepspace rated 18+ in China, the system helps prevent underage access - part of broader initiatives under China's Minors' Protection Law.
The country has implemented various measures to combat gaming addiction among youth, including:
- 90-minute daily play limits on weekdays
- 3-hour daily limits on weekends/holidays
- Mandatory 'Healthy Gaming' reminders
Facial recognition technology is already widely used across China for identity verification in various sectors including banking and travel.
Impact on Global Players
International versions won't be affected by this change. The game maintains its 12+ rating in most global markets, with no current plans to implement facial verification outside China's jurisdiction. Regulatory requirements remain specific to China's gaming policies.
