USK Reviews and Changes Age Ratings of Roblox and other Game Creator Platforms

The IARC Committee of the USK Board has taken a closer look at Game Creator Platforms and has reviewed the age rating relevance of the individual platforms to ensure that they are up-to-date. Half of the almost 20 game creator platforms meet the standards for the protection of minors of the previous classification, all others have received a higher age rating. The reasons for this were the higher level of content relevant to the protection of minors in user-generated games, but also the lack of effective precautions such as age ratings according to German standards or poorly secured children's accounts.
