China’s video game regulator says online gamers under the age of 18 will only be allowed to play for an hour on Fridays, weekends and holidays.
The National Press and Publication Administration told state-run news agency Xinhua that game-playing would be only allowed between 8pm to 9pm.
It also instructed gaming companies to prevent children playing outside these times.
Earlier this month a state media outlet branded online games “spiritual opium”.
