Galaxy of Heroes mobile game interface with disabled chat symbol and Brazil-themed legal update headline

Galaxy of Heroes Disables Chat for Underage Players in Brazil

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has received a small server update with one very specific purpose: legal compliance in Brazil.

According to the official EA Forums update, underage players in Brazil, meaning players under 18, will now have chat disabled in-game. When they try to interact with chat, they will temporarily see the message:

“This feature unlocks at Player Level 999.”

No, that does not appear to be a real new level cap. It is just a very Galaxy of Heroes way of saying the feature is unavailable.

A Small Patch With a Legal Reason

There are no character changes, balance tweaks, new events, or surprise kit reworks in this update.

EA says the change was made to remain compliant with Brazilian law. For most players outside Brazil, nothing changes. For younger Brazilian players, however, in-game chat will now be unavailable.

That could affect guild communication for some players, though many active guilds already rely on Discord or other outside tools.

The Holotables Have Paperwork Too

It is not the flashiest update, but it is a reminder that live-service games are global products. Even a Star Wars mobile game about Jedi, Sith, droids, and suspiciously expensive shards has to adjust to local rules.

So yes, this is a tiny update.

But even the Holotables apparently have legal paperwork now.
