They didn’t seem to explain how you’re meant to verify your age.

[Please select your age.]

And then Hoyoverse discovered there’s a lot of 1st January baby in the US.

I guess it’s goodbye to all the 31+ days ago people on the friends list for US players

I don‘t think they‘ll get removed, they just can‘t get into the game until they verify

Edit: I stand corrected, that‘s gonna create some angry posts down the road, no doubt

Please ensure to provide your age information by July 18th, 2025. Failure to verify will result in:

  • Account suspension
  • In-game friends and chat records will be deleted
  • No further notifications post-suspension due to inaccessible account information as required by law

If the verification is not completed by July 20th, 2026, the personal information of your HoYoverse account will be deleted permanently.

I haven’t logged I to it in years but I’m still bitter MS took away my Minecraft account without me realising. I better log in

Is it even possible to “play” that game anymore? Last I tried, it took 30 minutes of clicking through inane dialog before I could move, only to trigger more dialog.

Dialog is the game play copium

Seems like a tragedy of MMOs when they want to introduce what’s new to returners, but then deliver an avalanche of “new stuff” to people brand new to the game.

While I don’t play anymore I don’t want to lose my progress in Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd.

If they require government ID I’m letting it go

Next step: Making people verify with Real ID. ☠️🫠

Does this apply to all Hoyoverse games? Never got into Genshin, but I enjoy Zenless Zone Zero.
