ESRB introduces E10+ Video Game Rating

ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) has introduced a new video game rating category named E10+. It is a rating for games suitable for kids of age 10 and more. This would help the consumers chose the games for this generation of kids.

The president of the ESRB, Patricia Vance said in the statement: “The content of computer and video games continues to advance in terms of sophistication, complexity, and graphic quality. Given this evolution, the new E10+ rating category will provide consumers, particularly parents, with more precise guidance on the age appropriateness of certain titles, fulfilling our goal of helping ensure that the right games are selected for their children and families.”

The organization said that they consulted various child development experts and academicians while creating this rating standard. The step was broadly accepted and applauded by the people involved in the process.

The games coming under this rating would involve moderate amounts of cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language and/or minimal suggestive themes. E rating would continue to be given to games, which are suitable for all ages.
