Love and Deepspace Is Adding Face Verification to Its Chinese Version

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system in April 2025. This might sound intense, but rest assured, it's primarily for Chinese players due to the country's stringent real-name authentication policies for online gaming. This move is specifically designed to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating Love and Deepspace holds in China.

The implementation of facial recognition is part of China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors' Protection Law. China has been tightening its regulations on the gaming industry for years, introducing measures like strict playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends. Additionally, games are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players can start, encouraging them to take breaks and maintain a healthy gaming habit. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes, such as in airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to have any impact. The verification systems are tailored to comply with China's specific regulations, and Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores. Therefore, there's no indication that a face verification system will be added to the global version of the game in the future.
