Today, July 11, in response to the rumor that “minors can play games for one hour every day during summer vacation”, Tencent Games debunked the rumor and released a calendar of limited play for minors during summer vacation in 2022. Tencent Games said, combined with the Notice on Further Strict Management to Effectively Prevent Minors from Being Addicted to Online Games, minors can only log into the game between 20-21:00 every Friday and Saturday during the summer vacation, and the rest of the time they cannot enter the game to experience.
It should be noted that due to the inconsistency of summer vacation time around the world, this refers to July 11 – August 31. This also means that minors can log into the game for a total of 21 days during the summer vacation.
It is reported that the Notice on Further Strict Management to Prevent Minors from Being Addicted to Online Games issued by the State Press and Publication Administration stipulates that all online game enterprises can only provide one hour of service to minors from 20:00 to 21:00 daily on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. No other time is allowed to provide online game services to minors in any form.
Tencent said it has continued the spontaneous exploration and application of various new technologies and functions around the protection of minors from 2017 to the present. Next, based on the latest requirements of the competent authorities, Tencent will strictly comply and actively implement them.
