Pan European Game Information (PEGI) is a European video game content rating system that helps consumers make informed choices about video games. Established in 2003, PEGI provides age ratings and content descriptors to indicate the suitability of games for different age groups. The system uses a simple age classification, including 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18, along with symbols that highlight specific content, such as violence or strong language. PEGI ratings are widely recognized across Europe, making it easier for parents and players to understand the nature of a game before purchasing or playing it.
