‘Gooner Game’ Zenless Zone Zero Gets an Age Rating Increase on PS5

Zenless Zone Zero’s European PS5 age rating has risen from PEGI 12 to PEGI 16, a change that may reflect the game’s current content. The update has drawn attention because the game has faced criticism for sexualised character designs, though the reason for the higher rating has not been confirmed.

The listed content descriptors include moderate violence and sexual innuendo. Ratings remain unchanged in the United States, where the game is rated Teen, and on the App Store, where it is 13+. The article notes that some fans hope the change could signal more explicit content, but says there is no evidence of that; a recent animation featuring new character Phoenix also went viral.
