ESRB and Game Content

Awareness of ESRB ratings remains stable compared to 2020, providing parents with a powerful tool for staying engaged and aware of the type of content their children are consuming in video games.

There are six video game rating categories that are represented on the front of each game box by the following symbols–EC for Early Childhood, E for Everyone, E10+ for everyone 10 and older, T for Teen, M for Mature, and AO for Adults Only. The ratings suggest a particular age group for whom the game is most appropriate.
