The Pan European Game Information board announced plans to update its age rating criteria starting in June to automatically assign higher ratings to games featuring loot boxes, NFTs, blockchain mechanisms, time-limited purchases, and daily quests designed to encourage frequent play. The changes aim to provide clearer guidance to players and purchasers without altering the existing 3-to-18 rating scale, with specific features potentially triggering 12, 16, or 18 ratings depending on their implementation.
