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?

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 aligns with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors, which includes playtime restrictions (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" displays before gameplay. Facial recognition is already widely used in China for security purposes in various sectors, including airports and banks.

Global Implications?

For players outside China, this change is unlikely to affect gameplay. The face verification system is specifically implemented to adhere to China's regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, there are no current plans to introduce similar verification measures internationally.
