On March 12, 2026, the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) system, which classifies video games by age appropriateness, announced updates to its video game age-rating framework, adding new criteria that directly address monetisation models and urgency‑based sales tactics aimed at younger users. As these changes will take effect in June 2026, game publishers should consider proactively assessing their upcoming titles to determine whether any planned features might trigger a higher PEGI rating.
