Xbox users will now need to verify their age, in compliance with UK's Online Safety Act
Microsoft is implementing age verification for Xbox users, in compliance with the UK's new Online Safety Act.
Then, starting early next year, age verification will be required for players in the UK to retain full access to Xbox social features, such as game invites and communication via voice and text. We'll work with local communities, publishing partners and regulators to determine the right approach that both respects player privacy and doesn't take away from the Xbox gameplay experience. Xbox advises parents and caregivers to set up child or teen accounts, which do not require age verification and allow for gaming activities to be managed appropriately, including screentime and spending limits.
