According to foreign media Polygon, Mihayou recently announced that it will introduce the age confirmation system for players of the US server "Genshin Impact" before May 20. According to analysis, perhaps due to the relevant policies of the US government, "Genshin Impact" will restrict minor players from kryptoning money, which must be subject to the consent of the guardian.
·Mihayou's new regulations show that the deadline for players to submit age confirmation is set on July 18. After the expiration, the account will be closed and the chat history will be eliminated. However, after July 20, 2026, Mihayou's account will be directly deleted.
·The motivation for the formulation of this new regulations is believed to be to receive pressure from the US FTC (Federal Trade Commission), which issued a lawsuit warning to Genshin Impact's US operating company in January this year about children's krypton money violation of the Child Protection Act, and then settled after paying a $20 million fine.
·According to various signs, after May 20, players under the age of 16 in the United States may not be able to purchase krypton gold content such as the lottery draw.
