Love and Deepspace Is Adding Face Verification to Its Chinese Version

Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system, slated for launch in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but there's a reason behind it. And for those wondering about the impact on the global version, read on.

Why the Face Verification in China?

This isn't a random security upgrade for Chinese players. China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, is implementing face verification primarily to prevent underage players from accessing the game, complying with the country's Minors' Protection Law.

This move aligns with China's broader efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors. For years, the country has implemented measures like strict playtime limits (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends, and so on) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts before gameplay. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes in various sectors, including airports and banks.

Global Impact?

For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to affect gameplay. The face verification system is specifically implemented to comply with Chinese regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, the addition of a similar verification system in other regions is improbable.
