Useful Notes / Pan European Game Information

Go To

What Entertainment Software Ratings Board is for America, Pan European Game Information is for Europe, in that it's Europe's most prominent video game rating system. It was created in 2003 and gives one of five age ratings taking to consideration one of seven (formerly eight) content descriptors. The games are rated by publishers filling a questionnaire that enquires on possibly family unfriendly content, such as violence, sex or bad language. After receiving it, PEGI's online rating system automatically gives a rating to a game along with content descriptors.

Its website can be found here.

The age ratings PEGI uses:

    open/close all folders 

    PEGI 3

The only content descriptor this age rating came with was Online. However, the Online descriptor has been discontinued in 2015 since online play became almost widespread.
