In common
The North American video game rating agency is the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), which was founded in 1994. It was founded by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a non-profit industry self-regulatory organization. This grading system applies to Canada, the United States, and Mexico (although it has its own grading, see below). The ESRB uses the following icons to classify games:
Icon | Rating | Description |
---|---|---|
eC — Early Childhood (removed in 2018) | This rating denoted content which is aimed towards a preschool audience. Games with the rating do not contain content that parents would find objectionable to this audience. | |
E — Everyone[1] | Games with this rating contain content that is suitable for all ages. May contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence and/or the infrequent use of mild language. | |
E10+ — Everyone 10+ | Games with this rating contain content that is suitable for ages 10 and over. May contain more cartoon, fantasy, or mild violence, mild language, and/or minimal suggestive themes. | |
T — Teen | Games with this rating contain content that is suitable for ages 13 and over. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, and the infrequent use of strong language. | |
M — Mature 17+ | Games with this rating contain content that is suitable for ages 17 and over. May contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and strong language. | |
AO — Adults Only 18+ | Games with this rating contain content that is suitable for ages 18 and over. May contain prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or graphic sexual content. The majority of AO-rated titles are adult video games that received the rating for sexual content. There have been isolated cases of games receiving the rating for other reasons such as violent content and allowing players to gamble using real money. | |
RP — Rating Pending | This symbol is used in promotional materials for games which have not yet been assigned a final rating by the ESRB. A disclaimer "May contain content inappropriate for children." will be added if it may be rated T or above. |

EOCS
In addition to CERO, there is another organization in Japan that focuses on censoring adult games,Ethics Organization of Computer Software (EOCS, Japanese: コンピュータソフトウェア倫理機構), but its censors are not legally binding.
EOCS's current rating criteria are the same as CERO's old R15 standard, which was abolished on September 30, 2011.
JCRC (CSA)
(Need translate) 2003年,由AV制作公司牵头成立的媒体伦理协会(Japanese: メディア倫理協会)因为成人游戏发行商HOBIBOX的加入,开始接受成人游戏的审查。有一些成人游戏公司退出计算机软件伦理机构(EOCS)、加入媒伦。2005年8月1日在受到日本经济产业省关东经济产业局的认可后,原媒伦改组为软件内容协会(コンテンツ・ソフト協同組合;英语:Contents Soft Association / CSA)。
2010年12月1日,映像伦理机构(Japanese: 映像倫理機構,简称:映像伦/映伦,ETHICS)成立,CSA的审查转移到该中心进行。2015年6月30日,软件内容协会解散。
2016年1月,映伦在与全日本软件内容伦理审查会业务合并后,改名为日本内容审查中心(Japanese: 日本コンテンツ審査センター;英语:Japan Contents Review Center / JCRC)。

China
Chinese mainland
Currently, there is no game rating system in mainland China, only Online Game Age-Appropriateness Warning, which are not mandatory for minors and their guardians to choose age-appropriate games. The standard, under the guidance of the National Press and Publication Administration and approved by the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA, 中国音像与数字出版协会团体标准化技术委员会), was officially released on December 16, 2020 and officially implemented on July 1, 2021. The identifier of the Age-Appropriateness Warning is based on three different ages, namely green 8+, blue 12+ and yellow 16+.
The Age-Appropriateness Warning is a necessary standard for the approval of game plate numbers. The age appropriate identifier must be placed in a prominent position on the game interface, including but not limited to the game's official website, the game registration, login or start interface, promotional videos, posters, advertisements, etc., and it is required that the age appropriate identifier should be clearly distinguished from the background color of the game interface; In the promotional video, the age appropriate identifier should appear for no less than 3 seconds; In the static interface, clicking the age-appropriate identifier should expand or jump to the page containing age-appropriate phrases, and the minimum side length of the identifier should not be less than 1/10 of the minimum side length of the screen, so as to highlight the visibility and visibility of the logo in the game product.
According to CADPA, the Age-Appropriateness Warning unlike Western rating systems, are an improvement of the existing censorship system and will not magnify the censorship of game content.[2]The head of the National Press and Publication Administration also stressed that harmful content such as sex, gore, violence and gambling should not be allowed in games aimed at adults.[3]
According to the requirements of Notice of the National Press and Publication Administration on Further Strict Management to Prevent Minors from becoming Addicted to Online Games(《国家新闻出版署关于进一步严格管理切实 防止未成年人沉迷网络游戏的通知》), all minors can only log in to the games from 20:00 to 21:00 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays [4], and there is no restriction on holidays and no limit on the playing time of adults.
