The PEGI rating system is the standardized age-classification mechanism for video games across more than 30 European countries.
Age suitability is communicated through a traffic-light color scheme: green for ages 3 and 7, amber for intermediate levels, and red for 18+ restricted titles.
The system utilizes specific content descriptors alongside age ratings to provide transparency regarding the elements that influence a game's suitability.
PEGI ratings cover all major gaming platforms and are designed to facilitate informed purchasing decisions for both parents and players.
The classification framework is structured into five distinct age brackets: 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18.
Consumers can access rating information and resources through the official PEGI website and dedicated mobile applications.
