Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Author : Claire May 14,2025

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: it's time to verify your age or risk losing access to your account in MiHoYo's beloved open-world RPG. In compliance with new legal requirements, MiHoYo has announced that all US players must complete age verification by July 18th, 2025, to avoid severe consequences.

What exactly are these consequences? If you fail to verify your age, your account could be deleted entirely. This means losing not just your progress, but also your friends list, chat records, and any chance of receiving notifications to verify after suspension, as the account will become legally inaccessible.

The good news is that you have until July 2025 to take action. While the specifics of the age verification process remain unclear, it's evident that this is a significant step in regulating access for younger players to games like Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact GameplayThe term "gacha" might remind you of gachapon machines, and like their counterparts, these games are known for their monetization strategies. Savvy players can still enjoy the game without spending much, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

While this change is likely to be welcomed by many players and parents of younger gamers, it could be inconvenient for those who don't play regularly. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in before the deadline and get your age verified.
