PlayStation has started telling UK and Ireland players to verify their age by June to keep certain features

Sony is notifying PlayStation users in the UK and Ireland that they must verify their age by June 2026.

If they do not, features like messaging, voice chat, parties, Discord voice chat, and broadcasting could be restricted.

The rollout is tied to UK online safety rules and uses Yoti for age verification.

The move may affect social and sharing tools more than gameplay itself, so users should check their account status.
