Welp I told people this ID thing was a trap and it was only going to get worse. Now I'm on the clock for collabs until i inevitably can't see my friends avatars anymore. Because OF COURSE my friends were dumb enough to tag their avatars "properly". I fucking hate VRC
VRChat has shared its June 2026 safety update, with changes focused on age checks, content filtering, and safer public spaces.
The biggest change is Age Assurance, which replaces Age Verification. It uses methods including age estimation to confirm whether someone is 18 or older.
The first rollout starts in the UK, where users can join the early access program for free, while VRC+ subscribers get priority access. Once confirmed as an adult, you keep that status even if you cancel VRC+ later.
VRChat is also bringing back Content Gating. Users under 18 or who haven’t completed Age Assurance will automatically have adult and suggestive content hidden, and the filter cannot be turned off.
Creators must label their content correctly before enforcement begins.
