PEGI 开始将含开箱的现有纯数字游戏上调至 16 评级
PEGI begins moving existing digital-only games with loot boxes up to a 16 rating
PEGI 正把含付费随机物品（如开箱）且原评 PEGI 3、7、12 的纯数字游戏重评为 PEGI 16。英国 GRA 上月起对部分现有数字游戏执行新标准，10 月内逐步铺开，ESRB 3 月表示不跟进该改动。

Games currently rated PEGI 3, 7, or 12 are affected, with updates rolling out through October
Existing digital-only games that include paid random items, such as loot boxes, are being re-rated PEGI 16 if they currently carry a PEGI 3, 7, or 12 rating.
Games Rating Authority policy manager Connor Hinde said in a LinkedIn post that the GRA, which administers PEGI in the UK, started applying the updated criteria to a selection of existing digital games last week.
The new rating is labeled PEGI 16 - Paid random items. It applies whether a game was originally rated through PEGI's Classic procedure or the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) system.
The changes will continue to roll out progressively through October. The GRA acknowledged that a large number of ratings will change in a short space of time, and directed publishers and developers with questions to the PEGI Helpdesk.
In March, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) said it would not be adoptingthe age-rating changes announced by Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) as it "could be confusing" for users.
