Families can choose the tools that work best for them and their family. The campaign will be promoted locally by national trade associations and companies, focusing on national data and information in each of the territories and languages.
The latest survey conducted jointly by PEGI (Pan European Game Information) and IPSOS shows that 79 per cent of parents with children who play video games are aware of the PEGI age labels. Regarding parental control tools, among parents with children who play video games, 62 per cent say they apply one or more tools to monitor or limit their child’s gameplay.
