Sony will introduce mandatory age verification for PlayStation users to access voice and text chat. This was reported by Insider Gaming, citing emails received by PS users.

The age verification process will be rolled out worldwide. If a player chooses not to verify their age, they will still be able to use other services but will lose access to voice and text chat features.

PlayStation has not yet announced when users will need to begin the verification process.

Recently, platforms like Discord and Roblox have introduced various age verification measures. These steps are aimed at improving safety for younger audiences in gaming communities.

Recall that Natus Vincere exited PGL Wallachia Season 8.
