PlayStation users who want to make use of certain console features–namely, online communication with other players–will soon be required to verify their age, according to a recent report from Insider Gaming.
The report cites an email from Sony Interactive Entertainment that reads, “Verify your age to keep using communication features,” and goes on to reveal plans to implement world-wide age verification later this year (though the email does not provide a specific date).
“At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are committed to creating safe, age-appropriate experiences for players and families while respecting privacy and giving players and parents meaningful control over their gaming experience,” the message continues. “As part of our compliance with global regulations, you’ll need to verify your age later this year to continue using PlayStation communication features, such as messages and voice chat. You will still be able to access other PlayStation services, like games, trophies, and the Store, if you do not verify your age.”
