Xbox Marks More Longstanding Accounts as Age Verified Without ID Check

Xbox players report a new wave of notifications switching their age verification status to verified without any check. The notice cites "longstanding account activity" to estimate an adult profile — wording that appears on no Microsoft or Xbox page. A similar round was reported in August 2026, and Microsoft has not confirmed the scale of either.

• Notice cites "longstanding account activity" rather than any document
• Official process requires a selfie, a document or Singpass sign-in
• A similar wave of dropped checks was reported in August 2026
• Ofcom's approved methods list does not include account tenure
