Please note: Since 2015, the age ratings for an increasing number of games are flowing via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Age_Rating_Coalition IARC] and as such these figures may not represent the true distribution of all games released by age rating. The decline since 2010 in games rated PEGI 3 may also be influenced by the shift of more casual games to mobile platforms, some of which may not be rated by PEGI.

Please note: Since 2015, the age ratings for an increasing number of games are flowing via IARC and as such PEGI's official figures may not represent the true distribution of all games released by age rating. The decline since 2010 in games rated PEGI 3 may also be influenced by the shift of more casual games to mobile platforms, some of which may not be rated by PEGI.
