video game content rating

Video game content ratings are labels assigned by regulatory organizations to indicate the suitability of a game for different age groups. These ratings consider factors like violence, language, sexual content, and themes, helping consumers make informed decisions. For example, a game with intense violence or strong language might be rated higher, warning parents and players about its mature content. Ratings vary across regions—such as ESRB in North America or PEGI in Europe—aiming to balance entertainment with appropriate age standards, ensuring players and parents understand what to expect from a game before purchase or play.
