PEGI announce plans to slap higher age ratings on games with loot boxes, daily quests, and paid battle passes soon
PEGI, the European game rating board, is updating its criteria to include specific age recommendations for games featuring loot boxes, NFTs, blockchain mechanisms, daily quests, and paid battle passes. These changes, effective in June, aim to provide parents with more transparent advice on game content. While the core age ratings remain, these new features will influence a game's classification, with some potentially receiving higher ratings.
