FC 27 age rating explained: ESRB, PEGI and purchase disclosures

FC 27 does not have one worldwide age label
Age ratings are issued by regional systems rather than by one global authority. The same game can therefore display different labels in different countries. Buyers should read the rating shown by the official store for their own territory and platform, especially because rating decisions or descriptors can be updated before release.
United States: ESRB Everyone
The US PlayStation Store lists FC 27 as ESRB Everyone. It also displays the interactive elements “In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items)” and “Users Interact.” Those disclosures describe optional spending and online interaction; they are separate from the content-rating label.
Spain: PEGI 16 with in-game purchases
The Spanish PlayStation Store displays PEGI 16 and an In-Game Purchases notice. A PEGI label should not be converted into an ESRB equivalent. The two organisations apply their own criteria and provide information for different markets.
What parents and guardians should check
Review the local age label, optional purchases, random-item disclosure, online communication and platform parental controls. FC 27 can be played offline in supported modes, but online features may require a platform account or subscription. Spending limits, communication permissions and purchase authentication should be configured on the platform account used by the child.
