Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: it's time to verify your age to keep your account active. MiHoYo, the developer behind the beloved open-world RPG, has announced that age verification will be mandatory by July 18th, 2025, in compliance with new legal requirements. Failing to do so could lead to serious consequences, including the deletion of your account, loss of friends and chat records, and no further notifications for verification post-suspension, as the account will become inaccessible by law.

You have until July 2025 to complete this process, so there's still time to act. However, the exact method of age verification remains unclear. Will it be a straightforward process, or something more involved? Regardless, this move is part of broader efforts to regulate access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

The term "gacha" might remind you of gachapon machines, and just like those, gacha games can be quite the money sink. Yet, savvy players can 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 concerned about younger gamers. However, it might pose a challenge for those who don't play regularly. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in and verify your age before the deadline.
