The adult classification is applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it
becomes a depiction of gross violence, apparently motiveless killing, or violence
towards defenceless characters. The glamorisation of the use of illegal drugs and
explicit sexual activity should also fall into this age category.
THE PEGI CONTENT DESCRIPTORS
The game contains depictions of violence. In games rated PEGI 7 this can only be non-
realistic or non-detailed violence. Games rated PEGI 12 can include violence in a
fantasy environment or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters, whereas
games rated PEGI 16 or 18 have increasingly more realistic-looking violence.
The game contains bad language. This descriptor can be found on games with a PEGI
12 (mild swearing), PEGI 16 (e.g. sexual expletives or blasphemy) or PEGI 18 rating
(e.g. sexual expletives or blasphemy).
