Love and Deepspace is set to introduce a new face verification system in China starting April 2025, a move that underscores the country's ongoing efforts to enhance security and regulate gaming among its population. This development may sound intense, but for Chinese players, it's part of the existing landscape of strict real-name authentication required for online games, especially those rated 18+, such as Love and Deepspace.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

The introduction of face verification in Love and Deepspace is a direct response to China’s Minors’ Protection Law, aimed at preventing minors from accessing games that are not suitable for their age group. Given that Love and Deepspace is rated 18+ in China, the implementation of this system is a logical step in adhering to national regulations designed to combat gaming addiction among minors. China has been tightening regulations on the gaming industry for years, enforcing strict playtime limits for minors, such as 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China are required to display ‘Healthy Gaming Advice’ at the start, encouraging players to take breaks and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes in various sectors, including airports and banks, making this new measure a natural extension of existing practices.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside China, this change will likely have no impact. The face verification system is tailored to comply with China's specific regulations, and since Love and Deepspace is rated 12+ in most global app stores, there's no indication that such a system will be implemented for international players in the future.
