Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

by Sophia May 24,2025

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States! MiHoYo has announced that you will need to verify your age to continue enjoying their popular open-world RPG. With new legal requirements on the horizon, you must complete the age verification process by July 18th, 2025, to avoid serious repercussions.

What are the potential consequences of not verifying your age? If you fail to comply, your account could be deleted. This means losing not just your progress and characters but also your friends list, chat records, and any chance of receiving notifications to verify after your account has been suspended. Once your account is inaccessible, it's gone for good, as mandated by law.

The good news is, you have until July 2025 to get verified. Although the specifics of the age verification process remain unclear, it's likely to be more rigorous than a simple self-declaration. This step is part of broader legal efforts to regulate access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Gacha**Gacha!** You're no stranger to the term 'gacha,' which stems from the Japanese gachapon machines. Just like those, the gacha systems in games can be quite the money sink. However, savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

This change is likely to be welcomed by many players and parents, aiming to create a safer gaming environment. But for those who play sporadically, it might be a bit of a hassle. If you're planning a long break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in and verify your age before the deadline to keep your account safe.
