Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

by Charlotte May 20,2025

Genshin Impact players in the United States need to take note: age verification is on the horizon. MiHoYo has announced that by July 18th, 2025, all US players must verify their age to continue enjoying the popular open-world RPG. This requirement comes as part of new legal changes aimed at protecting younger audiences.

What happens if you don't verify? The stakes are high. Failure to comply by the deadline could lead to your account being deleted, along with all your friends and chat records. Post-suspension, you won't receive any notifications to verify because, by law, your account information will become inaccessible.

Fortunately, you have until July 2025 to get verified. While the exact method of age verification remains unclear—it's hoped it will be straightforward and not overly intrusive—this is a significant step towards ensuring the safety of younger players in games like Genshin Impact.

Gacha!The term 'gacha' stems from gachapon machines, and like their mechanical counterparts, these in-game systems can be quite money-hungry. However, savvy players can still enjoy the game without breaking the bank, especially when compared to the era of loot boxes.

This change might be welcomed by parents and players alike, though it could pose a slight inconvenience for those who play less frequently. If you're planning an extended break from Genshin Impact, make sure to log in and verify your age before the deadline to avoid any issues.

And if you're returning to Genshin Impact to get verified, why not take advantage of our updated list of Genshin Impact codes for May? Grab some free boosts and stay ahead of the game with the latest promo codes.
