Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with a face verification system set to launch in April 2025. While this may sound dramatic, there’s more to understand regarding its implications.
Why Is Love and Deepspace Implementing Face Verification?
This move isn’t surprising for Chinese gamers, as China already enforces strict real-name authentication for online games. The primary reason behind this update is to prevent minors from accessing the game, given that Love and Deepspace is rated 18+ in China.
This initiative aligns with China’s ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors’ Protection Law. Over the years, the country has implemented several measures, such as limiting playtime for minors—allowing only 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends—and requiring games to display healthy gaming reminders before play begins. Facial recognition technology is already widely used across China for various purposes, including airport security and banking.
What Does This Mean Globally?
For international players, this development likely won’t affect gameplay. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, so there’s no indication that similar face verification systems will be introduced elsewhere anytime soon.
