Starting July 2026, PEGI will roll out four new rating categories to help parents and gamers in Europe understand in-game purchases and online interactions better. This shift moves away from a focus solely on violence and adult content to include what they call 'interactive risk.'
Publishers will need to supply detailed game info for accurate ratings. Notably, games like EA's FC series might see changes due to loot boxes in their Ultimate Team mode. This update aims to give parents clearer guidance on managing their kids' gaming. How do you feel about these new rating categories?
