💨 Abstract
PEGI is tightening its age rating criteria for video games, particularly focusing on loot boxes and microtransactions. Starting June, games with loot boxes will be rated PEGI 16, affecting popular sports titles like EA Sports FC and NBA 2K. This change aims to address concerns about gambling and addictive game design. Publishers may need to implement stricter controls on loot boxes to lower age ratings.
