ESRB Adds New Notice to Games With Randomized In-Game Purchase Elements
The ESRB began adding ?Interactive Element? tags to games in April 2018. This label notably denoted titles featuring in-game purchases and other online features that didn?t affect a game?s rating. Now the ratings board is further expanding transparency measures with another Interactive Element marker, ?In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items).?
A post on the ESRB?s website explains the new Interactive Element label will be assigned to titles containing options to purchase digital goods, including premium offerings and in-game currency that players can buy with real money. This was specially designed with randomized items in mind, such as loot boxes, mystery awards, item packs, prize wheels, treasure chests, gacha games, etc. The post additionally notes the In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items) notice will also apply to ?other non-randomized paid elements.?
