PEGI expands age rating criteria with interactive risk categories
PEGI, the Pan-European system for the age classification of video games, is adding new categories to its classification criteria to address online interaction risks. Starting in June 2026, newly submitted games will be classified with a broader set of criteria that will focus on content and functionality, such as purchases of in-game content, paid random items, communication features, and features that incentivise players to continue playing.
