PEGI to adjust age ratings for virtual reality games
Ratings body PEGI admits it may need to reevaluate its ratings system when VR arrives next year.
The firm says it will take a closer look at how it assesses fear and horror in terms of suitability for young audiences.
It follows comments from Sony’s Worldwide Studio boss Shuhei Yoshida, who told Digital Spy at Paris Games Week that a new ratings system might be needed for games that could cause ‘trauma’.
Note that he’s talking about frightening games here, not issues such as motion sickness – which doesn’t fall under
PEGI’s jurisdiction.
