Sony is asking players in the UK and Ireland to verify their ages to keep the gaming community safe. This aligns with the UK's Online Safety Act, which requires age checks for platforms that allow communication. While gaming and store access will stay the same, messaging and voice chat will be locked for those who haven't verified.
Players can use methods like facial recognition or ID submission to confirm their age, though experiences might differ by location. Some PS5 users are already seeing age verification prompts. How do you feel about these changes for online safety?
