  • Itch.io now blocks UK users from viewing NSFW game creator profiles, though some individual adult games remain accessible after age verification.
  • The restrictions started in August and align with the UK’s Online Safety Act requiring stricter age checks for adult content.
  • Developers lose UK discoverability while players can’t browse creator catalogs, forcing them to rely on direct links shared elsewhere.
