Following in the footsteps of Discord and Roblox, PlayStation is set to roll out its age verification protocol for users. The Japanese company has sent an email to its players to notify them of this upcoming change.
As a result, age verification will become mandatory worldwide to send private messages or access voice chat (Party). Users who decline to complete this verification will still be able to access the brand’s other services and play normally. Only communication with other community members will be affected.
In its email, Sony states that it aims to provide “safe, age-appropriate experiences for players and families while respecting their privacy” and “meaningful control over their gaming experiences”.
