The Chinese government has imposed a curfew that will restrict the amount of time residents under the age of 18 will be able to spend playing their favourite online games.<\/p>\n

China’s General Administration of Press and Publications issued a document on Tuesday, November 5, which revealed several new measures designed to combat the ever-growing issue of gaming addiction.<\/p>\n

The official government guidelines will apply to every online gaming service provider in the country, most notably Tencent, which is the world’s largest video game company.<\/p>\n

Tencent owns stakes in Riot Games, Ubisoft, Supercell, Grinding Gear Games, Epic Games, Glu Mobile, Bluehole, Activision Blizzard, Paradox Interactive and Miniclip, meaning the Chinese company overlooks all of the major online game titles, including League of Legends<\/a>, Call of Duty<\/a>, World of Warcraft<\/a>, PUBG<\/a>, Dota2<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

The new set of rules will prohibit Chinese game providers from allowing users under the age of 18 from playing online between 10pm and 8am. Minors will also be limited to only 90 minutes of playtime during weekdays and three hours of playtime per day on weekends and national holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
