Genshin Impact Rolls Out US Age Checks

Genshin Impact players across the United States now face a crucial deadline - verify your age or risk losing access to your beloved Teyvat adventures. Hoyoverse's announcement reveals July 18, 2025 as the cutoff date for compliance with new legal requirements.

What's at Stake?

The consequences sound serious - unverified accounts face complete deletion, including all your hard-earned progress, cherished friendships, and chat histories. Once suspended, you won't even receive reminders to verify since account access gets legally blocked.

The Verification Countdown Begins

The bright side? You've got breathing room until mid-2025 to complete verification. While Hoyoverse hasn't detailed the exact process yet (will it go beyond simple self-declaration?), this clearly represents growing legal pressure around age restrictions in games.

The term "gacha" perfectly captures these mechanics' origins from Japanese capsule toy machines - and their reputation for monetization. Though savvy players can enjoy Genshin Impact without breaking the bank, especially compared to loot box mania's peak.

While parents might applaud these protective measures, casual players could face unexpected hurdles. Planning an extended break from Teyvat? Better log in soon to secure your account status before the deadline looms.
