PEGI begins moving existing digital-only games with loot boxes up to a 16 rating
Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) is updating its rating system to assign a PEGI 16 rating to existing digital-only games that contain paid loot boxes, provided they were previously rated PEGI 3, 7, or 12. The Games Rating Authority (GRA) in the UK has begun implementing these changes, which will roll out through October. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in North America has stated it will not adopt similar changes.
