European age-ratings body PEGI begins raising age-limit of loot box games, like EA Sports FC, to 16
The European video game age rating agency PEGI has begun increasing the age ratings of digital games featuring loot boxes to 16. This stricter approach, which started in June for newly submitted games, is now being applied to existing digital-only titles rated PEGI 3, 7, or 12. Games like EA Sports FC and Zenless Zone Zero are among those affected, signaling a shift in how loot box mechanics are perceived and rated.
