Game/Video Warning Symbols
This icon will be present if the game contains bad language. This descriptor can only be found on games with a PEGI 12 or higher rating. On PEGI 12 games, games will only include mild swearing, whereas PEGI 16 and 18 will include sexual expletives or blasphemy.
This icon represents that the game contains depictions of ethnic, religious, nationalistic or other stereotypes, which are deemed likely to encourage hatred. This content is always restricted to a PEGI 18 rating, so you won’t find any discrimination in any games with lower age restrictions.
This icon is used when a game refers to or depicts the use of illegal drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Similarly to discrimination, games with this content are always restricted to PEGI 16 or PEGI 18, so you won’t see any drug-related content in PEGI 12 and lower ratings.
This descriptor will appear as “Fear” for games with a PEGI 7 rating if those games contain pictures or sounds that may be frightening or scary to young children. For older games, it will appear as “Horror”. Moderate horror will be PEGI 12 and intense and sustained horror will be PEGI 16. Horror is generally described as disturbing images or sequences (not necessarily including violence). 
If a game includes content that encourages or teaches gambling then this icon will appear. Simulations of gambling refer to any games of chance that are normally carried out in casinos or similar venues. PEGI updated the criteria for this classification in 2020, which made every new game with any sort of gambling content PEGI 18. There are some older titles which can contain this icon while being rated PEGI 12 or PEGI 16, so watch out for these. 
This means that the game offers players the option to purchase digital goods with real-world currency, known as in-game purchases. Such purchases include additional content (which can be bonus levels, outfits [cosmetics], surprise items, music tracks, etc), but can also be upgrades (like disabling ads), subscriptions to updates, virtual currency, and other forms of in-game currency.
This content descriptor will accompany a PEGI 12 rating if that game only includes sexual posturing or innuendo. The game will be PEGI 16 if there is erotic nudity or sexual intercourse without visible genitals and will be a PEGI 18 rating if there is explicit sexual activity visible in the game. Nudity in a non-sexual context does not require an age rating.
Games hit with the violence descriptor will contain depictions of violence. The severity of the violence will correspond to the age rating for the game. PEGI 3 games can only show very mild forms of violence. PEGI 7 games can only include non-realistic or non-detailed violence. PEGI 12 games can only include non-realistic violence towards human-like characters or violence in a fantasy environment. Only games rated PEGI 16 or 18 are allowed to show realistic-looking violence.
