It's been two months since Starfield released, and players are starting to take notice of the RPG's surprisingly PG-13 approach to a galaxy reeling from a destructive war - especially in light of its Mature rating.
Starfield was awarded an M rating by the US rating service, the ESRB. Traditionally, that rating may denote "intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language." Similarly, it sports an 18 rating from the UK's PEGI board, which denotes a "level of violence [that] reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence," as well as "the glamorization of the use of illegal drugs and of the simulation of gambling."
