EA FC 27: Ultimate Team Gets New Age Rating
July 24, 2026 - 22:22
The popular football game EA FC 27 has seen a change in its age rating following updates to regulations regarding loot boxes. The game's Ultimate Team mode, which allows players to build their dream teams through card packs, has now been rated 16 and older by the age ratings board PEGI.
This decision comes in response to growing concerns about the impact of loot boxes on younger players. The PEGI board has been evaluating the potential risks associated with these features, especially how they can encourage gambling-like behavior. As a result, EA FC 27's Ultimate Team mode will now be more restricted, reflecting the need for responsible gaming practices.
The new rating aims to ensure that players and parents are aware of the game's content and its potential implications. This shift marks a significant moment in the gaming industry, as developers adapt to changing regulations and societal expectations regarding gaming and its effects on youth.
