EA Sports FC 27 gets a PEGI 16 rating in Europe because of loot boxes
European game rating agency PEGI has begun increasing age ratings for games containing "paid random items," leading to EA Sports FC 27 receiving a PEGI 16 rating due to its loot boxes and in-game purchases. This contrasts with EA Sports FC 25, which retains a PEGI 3 rating. North America's ESRB will not follow suit, maintaining an E rating for EA Sports FC 27.
