China's new face recognition system is looking for child gamers playing at night

Tencent has launched the Midnight Patrol system: it receives data from the central system

China's public security team to identify and control underage gamers who play at night.

The restrictions apply to the period from 22:00 to 08:00 in the morning: now, in order to play, you will have to scan your face and enter your real name when logging in. 

Anyone who refuses to check and scan will be considered a minor - he will not be allowed to play.

The first games in which the new system will appear will be 60 titles, in particular the MOBA strategy Honor of Kings and the "battle royale" Game for Peace, which is the local analogue of PUBG.

In 2019, China passed legislation aimed atpreventing “unhealthy involvement of minors in online gaming.” In a number of popular games, registration under real names has become mandatory, and a ban has also been introduced for persons under 18 years of age to play from 22:00 to 8:00.
