PlayStation's New Age Verification...

Описание: PlayStation is introducing a new age verification system for users in the UK and Ireland, expected to roll out in 2026. Under this update, players will need to confirm their age to continue accessing certain online and social features on their consoles. This includes voice chat, messaging, party chat, and the ability to broadcast or stream gameplay. Users who choose not to verify their age will still be able to play games, but access to these communication features may be restricted.

The change is part of Sony’s effort to comply with new online safety regulations aimed at creating a safer environment for younger players. The verification process will be handled through a third-party provider and may include options such as mobile number verification, facial recognition, or government-issued ID.

If you’re playing on PlayStation in the UK or Ireland, it’s important to complete the verification process once it becomes available to avoid losing access to key features.
