A guide to ESRB video game ratings for Xbox 360 games

ESRB video game ratings are a US standard used to indicate game content and recommend which age range particular video games are suitable for.

Obtaining an ESRB video game rating is voluntary for games publishers, however, the vast majority elect to have their video games rated by the ESRB.

Most upcoming Xbox 360 games will also have ESRB video game ratings to indicate game content and age suitability to parents and mature video game purchasers. The Xbox 360 launch titles have already been given ESRB ratings.

A list of the ESRB ratings and a brief explanation of their meanings and age suitability recommendations is given below.
