Win10 Store App and Game Age Rating Requirements Exposure

Windows 10 will be released at the end of this month, and Microsoft will also launch a new Windows App Store that allows PC and Windows 10 mobile users to download the same app for both versions of the operating system. . Microsoft has also been busy with a unified development center to facilitate developers to submit applications and publish to stores, and now Microsoft has released some details on how developers can add age ratings to their apps.

As we have previously reported, the Unified Development Center will also be available for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone apps, and now requires an age rating for each app and game, as well as any updates. Previously this requirement was only for Windows 8.1 applications. Five age ratings remain the same:

3+ (suitable for young children)

7+ (for ages 7 and above)

12+ (for Age of 12+)

16+ (for ages 16 and older)

18+ (for adults)

Microsoft says they have streamlined access The three-party age grading process, which is optional in some countries, such as the United States, but in Brazil, South Korea, Russia and Taiwan, any application submitted in addition to Microsoft's internal rating must also use the country's age rating system.
