European video games rating board PEGI has announced it will now label video games that include “paid random items” – a term meant to cover loot boxes, card packs and the like.
The rating will be shown on the back of game boxes and on digital store listings, below the existing “in-game purchases” icon which has been part of the PEGI rating since September 2018.
The ESRB, America’s ratings board, today confirmed it would introduce the same measure.
