The UK Online Safety Act (OSA), effective as of July 25, 2025, mandates that platforms like Activision for Call of Duty implement "highly effective" age verification for online features, especially for games with user-to-user interactions like multiplayer or chat. These measures are already being implemented or are in the process of being rolled out, as compliance is required to avoid Ofcom fines or service restrictions. Here's the short version: - Current Implementation: Activision has introduced a requirement for Call of Duty players to provide their date of birth by November 10, 2025, to comply with safety regulations, likely influenced by the OSA. Non-compliance may lead to account deletion. - Future Steps: Platforms are expected to adopt more robust methods, such as third-party services (e.g., k-ID, Yoti) for: - Photo ID checks (e.g., passport, driver’s license). - Facial age estimation (selfie-based AI analysis). - Digital ID or payment verification. - Likelihood: These verification methods are already being used by some platforms (e.g., Steam, PlayStation) and are likely to be fully implemented for Call of Duty to meet OSA standards, especially for 18+ content or high-risk features like voice chat. Ofcom’s enforcement timelines push platforms to act swiftly, with risk assessments due by December 2025.
