Tencent adding video game age restrictions, identity checks in China
Tencent, the world’s largest video game publisher, will implement age restrictions for all of its titles in China in 2019.
Player identities will be verified using China’s national citizen database and gamers under the age of 18 will have their playtime limited to one or two hours per day.
Tencent is also testing facial identification software in two cities to assist with player verification.
The mandatory verification and time limits arrive as Chinese officials consider new regulations to combat video game addiction.
