Multiple Games With Loot Boxes Become PEGI 16
PEGI has updated its age rating system, classifying games with paid random rewards, commonly known as loot boxes, as PEGI 16. This change affects popular titles like Pokemon GO, EA Sports FC, and Mario Kart Tour, which will now carry a 'Paid Random Items' warning label. The new policy, which began applying to newly submitted games in June 2026, is now retroactively impacting existing digital-only games across Europe and the UK.
