Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a regulatory organization that provides age and content ratings for video games and apps. Established in 1994, the ESRB helps consumers, especially parents, make informed decisions about video game content. The ratings, ranging from "Early Childhood" to "Mature," indicate the suitability of games based on their themes, language, violence, and other factors. Alongside the ratings, the ESRB also offers content descriptors that provide more specific information about a game's elements, ensuring players and parents understand what to expect before engaging with a game.
