Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is an organization that assigns age and content ratings to video games and apps. Established in 1994, its primary goal is to help consumers, especially parents, make informed choices about the games their children play. The ratings range from "Early Childhood" to "Adults Only," providing clear guidance on the suitability of content.
In addition to ratings, the ESRB also provides detailed content descriptors that explain specific elements in a game, such as violence or strong language. This information is displayed on game packaging and online platforms, ensuring that players can easily access important details about the games they are considering.
