The VGR Index rates games on a scale from 1 to 5. Lower scores indicate suitability for younger audiences, and higher scores indicate content intended for more mature audiences. Please review the VGR Index to see which content you're most comfortable with.

VGR Rating RU

When shown, there will usually be a bit of information beside the VGR Index icon stating what the title is likely to contain. For example, next to the RU rating, there may be text saying "May contain violent imagery".
