Genshin Impact players in the US must verify their age soon or face account troubles. The game maker HoYoverse told players they need to share their age before July 18, 2025. Players who miss this deadline will see their accounts frozen. The company will also erase friend lists and chat records and stop all messages to these accounts. Personal account data will be deleted completely if users fail to verify before July 20, 2026.
This change stems from HoYoverse's recent legal issues with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC fined the company $20 million for misleading children about loot boxes. The settlement forces HoYoverse to stop selling loot boxes to anyone under 16 without parent approval. The company must also clearly show odds for winning items and offer direct purchase options with real money. The FTC stated that HoYoverse tricked players into spending hundreds on prizes they rarely won.
The popular game Paralogism has just been updated to version 5.6. Players can try two new characters: support hero Escoffier, who has a five-star rating, and damage dealer Ifa, who has a four-star rating. The update adds a fresh main quest, character story, and boss battle for all players.
