Valve introduces age verification for UK Steam users

Valve has implemented an age verification system for Steam users in the United Kingdom in response to the UK's Online Safety Act. UK consumers must link a credit card to their Steam account to purchase "mature" games, confirming they are over 18. Users with an existing credit card on their account do not need to take further action. Other platforms, such as Discord and Reddit, are also adopting age verification measures. Ofcom, the independent regulator for online safety in the UK, supports credit card checks as an effective age assurance method, as individuals must be at least 18 to obtain a credit card. This requirement aims to strengthen age verification processes and prevent the misuse of shared Steam accounts.
