Genshin Impact age verification: what is it and how to keep playing

  • On May 7, 2025, HoYoverse announced that U.S.-based Genshin Impact users must complete an age verification process starting May 20 to maintain access to their accounts, or they risk permanent deletion.
  • This age verification requirement follows a Federal Trade Commission settlement accusing HoYoverse of marketing loot boxes to minors without parental consent and violating COPPA laws.
  • The age check involves verifying players' ages at login or account creation, with underage users subject to parental controls preventing independent loot box purchases.
  • HoYoverse agreed to a $20 million fine and must disclose accurate loot box odds, delete data from players under 13, and enforce parental approval for purchases, according to the settlement.
  • Failure to complete age verification by July 20, 2026, will result in account suspension, deletion of friends lists and chat records, emphasizing compliance to maintain access to the game.
