What is Rating Pending?

"Rating Pending" is a designation used by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) to indicate that a video game has not yet been officially rated. This label is often seen on promotional materials and packaging prior to the game's release, signifying that the game is undergoing the rating process. Once the review is complete, the game will receive a specific age rating, such as E for Everyone or M for Mature. This helps consumers make informed decisions about the content suitability of the game.
