The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide information about video and 

computer game content, so you can make informed purchasing decisions. ESRB ratings have two parts: 

rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game, and content descriptors indicate elements in a 

game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern.

To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it's important to check both the 

rating symbol (found on the 

front of the game box) and the 

content descriptor (found on the back of the game box. Go to www.esrb.org 

for a complete list of these content descriptors.

The ESRB rating system is designed to provide information about a computer or video game. The ratings are 

not meant to recommend which games consumers should buy or rent or to serve as the only basis for 

choosing a product. Rather, individuals should use the ESRB ratings together with personal tastes and 

standards when deciding what is best to purchase.
