What ESRB Entertainment Software Rating Board - US Video Game Age Ratings and Content Labeling requires
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is the United States self-regulatory body that assigns age-based ratings (Everyone, Everyone 10+, Teen, Mature 17+, Adults Only 18+, and Rating Pending) together with content descriptors and interactive-element notices to physical and digital video games. Publishers submit games for rating, must display the assigned rating and content/interactive-element labels on packaging and digital storefronts, must disclose in-game purchases (including random-item loot boxes), and must follow ESRB advertising and marketing principles. For digital storefronts the ESRB issues ratings through the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) questionnaire.
