Over the past 10 years, more than 3 million developers have used the IARC system to obtain region-specific ratings for their digitally delivered video games and apps. Before IARC, developers would submit their digital games to each rating authority individually. This meant a separate physical application for ESRB in North America, PEGI in Europe, ClassInd in Brazil, USK in Germany, ACB in Australia, GRAC in the Republic of Korea, and so on. Thanks to IARC, developers and publishers looking to release a digitally delivered game or app only need to submit once electronically, and IARC’s proprietary algorithms provides age and content ratings for each of the participating rating authorities, without cost or delay.
