About our SID activities
As an industry, we are committed to protecting minors – it’s in our DNA. Europe’s video game companies continually work to ensure that young players can enjoy games in a positive and safe environment.
We provide parents with tools and information for both games and consoles, as well as the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) system. Used in 40 countries across Europe, PEGI offers clear guidance at the point of purchase on the age appropriateness of a game’s content.
In addition, we run an annual public awareness campaign - Press Play Together - that shares tips and resources with parents, carers and educators. These materials help them talk to children and students about responsible gameplay and agree on ground rules that work for everyone.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
We encourage all parents, guardians and educators to check check video games' PEGI rating and learn about parents tools which helps families manage online interaction, playtime, spending, and access to age-appropriate video games. PEGI age rating and content descriptors are best-in-class examples of co- and self-regulation that enable measures for the protection of minors to keep up with the fast-moving industry and game innovations.
We also encourage families to play games together and start a conversation on children's online activities. Research shows that families who play together and/or take the time to discuss video gameplay with their children have the fewest arguments and reap the greatest benefits from play.
Be informed in your language! The video games industry also provides easy-to-use resources by country, which are in local languages.
