Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system, scheduled for launch in April 2025. This might sound intense, but what does it mean for the global version of the game? Let's dive in.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

The addition of face verification in China isn't a major shift for local players. China has long enforced strict real-name authentication for online games, especially to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, like Love and Deepspace. This measure aligns with China's broader strategy under the Minors' Protection Law to combat gaming addiction among minors. The country has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming industry, implementing strict playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China must display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players start their sessions, encouraging breaks and responsible gaming. Facial recognition technology, already integral to daily life in China for security in places like airports and banks, is now being extended to gaming. This step ensures that only adults can access games rated for mature audiences.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, the introduction of face verification won't bring any changes. These verification systems are designed to meet China's specific regulations. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, and there's no indication that face verification will be implemented globally in the future.
