Fortnite is rated T for Teen with a Content Descriptor for Violence and Interactive Elements including Users Interact and In-Game Purchases by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) . Common Sense Media, an Understood founding partner, also recommends the game for kids 13 and up, because of its action violence and open chat. The Video Standards council rates Fortnite as PEGI 12 for frequent scenes of mild violence in the UK. According to Bark, Fortnite is fairly appropriate for kids about 10 and above with supervision and parental controls in place. Therefore, the age rating for Fortnite is generally considered to be 13 and up, but it ultimately depends on the discretion of the parents and guardians of the child.
