The ESRB App just got an update! Download the free app in the Google Play Store & the Apple App Store for tips and resources to help manage your kids’ video game experiences.
We don't have a soundcloud, but we do assign age and content ratings for tons of video games and apps (that's right, apps too - check out that Google Play magic)! Head over to for ratings, parental control guides, and other very good things.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been rated by the ESRB. The rating summaries are always hilarious. This game feels like it was made for Switch, basically gives everyone a new Minecraft like experience for the summer.
25 years ago, on September 16, 1994 we opened our doors & began assigning ratings. We’ll have more to share in the future about how we plan to celebrate, but until then we raise a glass to everyone who’s ever made, published, sold, or purchased a video game! Thank you all!
The first step to managing your kids’ video games is picking what’s appropriate for them! With ESRB ratings and the Family Gaming Guide it’s easier than ever. Click here for everything you need to know:
