An age rating is a symbol on the game box and media that displays the recommended age to play the game. There are three rating systems that are common in different parts of the world:

ESRB is the system used in the United States and Canada.
PEGI is used in Europe.
CERO is used in Japan.
Less common rating systems:
- USK is used in Germany.
- OFLC is used in Australia
- VET is occasionally used in Finland
- EOCS is sometimes used in Japan for PC games
Defunct rating systems:
- ELSPA was used in the United Kingdom from 1994 - 2003.
- BBFC was sometimes used in the United Kingdom as an alternative to the PEGI system.

See the respective articles to find out more about each system's rating methods and symbols.
