CADPA T/CADPA 60-2025 game distribution & promotion basic requirements take effect 6 Feb 2025

The China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association announcement 关于发布《网络游戏分类》和《游戏分发与推广基本要求》两项团体标准的公告 (音数团标〔2025〕21号), opened 20 September 2026, is dated 7 January 2025. It approves group standard T/CADPA 60-2025 《游戏分发与推广基本要求》 (basic requirements for game distribution and promotion) and states implementation from 6 February 2025. The same notice also approves T/CADPA 59-2025 (classification); that standard has a separate China Watch card.

What this announcement does and does not contain

Observed on the primary page: standard number, Chinese title, approval after drafting and committee review, publish date 7 January 2025, and implementation date 6 February 2025.

Not on this announcement page: the full normative PDF; clause-level rules on misleading gameplay footage, fake ratings, hard-to-close pop-ups, or forced downloads; mandatory-versus-voluntary status beyond “group standard” (团体标准); or store-by-store adoption checklists.

Secondary press often attaches those promotion-side claims to T/CADPA 60-2025. Those clause details are not established by the CADPA announcement body opened for this note.
