Age ratings

Age ratings apply to all applications published on the RuStore. Those restrictions help users understand whether an app contains potentially inappropriate content for a certain age group.

caution

Age ratings are not related to the app target group.

Specify an age rating when publishing an app or a new version of it if the update introduces potentially inappropriate content for a certain age group. This information will help RuStore users decide whether to install the application.

Age ratings have nothing to do with a game's complexity. We recommend that parents should be guided by the age ratings to make sure that the game content is suitable for the child.
