Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not appropriate. Contains graphic violence, gore, and mature language; online multiplayer/chat increases social risk.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Not appropriate. Content intensity and online features make this unsuitable for young children.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Generally not recommended. Violence and gore are too intense for most in this age group; if allowed, use strict parental supervision and disable online features where possible.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Caution. Teens near 16 may understand game mechanics but content is mature (ESRB M) — recommend parental guidance and turning off voice/text chat; discuss online safety and spending controls.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate for older teens (17+) with guidance. ESRB rates M (17+) — best for mature teens who understand violent content and online risks; monitor in-game purchases and social interactions.
