Europe's game rating agency takes aim at in-app purchases, loot boxes, and 'unrestricted communication' with new 'interactive risk categories'
Europe's game rating agency PEGI is introducing new 'interactive risk categories' to address loot boxes, in-app purchases, and unrestricted in-game communication. These changes will affect game age ratings, with some titles potentially seeing significant increases, such as EA Sports FC moving from PEGI 3 to PEGI 16 due to randomized card packs. The new criteria are set to be implemented in June.
