Patricia Vance, the President of ESRB and Chairperson of IARC, expressed her views on this development, stating, “By implementing the IARC rating system within Fortnite, Epic continues to elevate its commitment to providing families with tools to make informed decisions about which experiences are appropriate for their children.” As Fortnite evolves beyond its Battle Royale origins into a broader ecosystem with content from both Epic and other creators, empowering parents with a clear understanding of the content their children can access becomes increasingly paramount.
In other recent news, Epic Games disclosed that the in-game V-Bucks currency is slated to become more expensive in multiple countries starting from October 27, following their announcement of workforce layoffs involving over 800 employees.
