Video Game Rating Council

The Video Game Rating Council is an organization responsible for evaluating the content of video games and assigning age-appropriate ratings. These ratings help consumers, especially parents, understand the game's content—such as violence, language, or mature themes—and decide if it's suitable for certain age groups. Similar to movie ratings, these labels guide responsible consumption and support informed choices. The council's goal is to promote awareness of game content and ensure that players are aware of what they are about to play, thereby helping to protect younger audiences from inappropriate material.
