In response to a $20 million fine imposed by the FTC, MiHoYo has announced that it will implement age verification for all US players, including existing accounts, by May 20th. Unverified accounts will face restrictions, including being unable to log in, delete chat records with friends, and will be deleted on July 26, 2026, if not verified. Due to legal restrictions, MiHoYo will not send notifications to affected players regarding further actions. For more information, please visit the official Hoyoverse website.
