Game Rating Information

The ESRB rating system is an unbiased, standardized way to help you determine whether an Xbox game is appropriate for your child. Ratings are determined by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). The ESRB is a self-regulatory body that independently applies and enforces ratings, advertising guidelines, and online privacy principles adopted by the industry.
