summary	The State supports youth protection through the U.S. Interactive Software Association (USK). The USK reviews and decides on age ratings for games to guide parents, while also providing guidelines such as content descriptors like PEGI/KNDR. If a game receives no rating from the USK due to insufficient quality or excessive violence/pornography/racism/anti-Semitism/homophobia/gender discrimination/suicidality/threats/information that endangers life/dangerous play behaviors, it can be banned for violating standards of responsible youth protection. These ratings are not censorship but serve as orientation tools. The USK partners with the German Entertainment Software Self-Regulation body Gamescom 2025 to ensure ongoing and future-proof youth protection within gaming culture in Germany by creating a safer environment through guidance on app usage, supporting parents via resources like Ratgeber für Familien (Family Guide), advising companies about legal compliance related to games, offering information for exhibitors at events such as Gamescom. The USK's role includes self-regulation of the software industry with respect to youth protection and acting in tandem not only within Germany but also internationally. Companies that work closely with the USK can expect support on questions surrounding age ratings (USK), ESRB codes, PEGI/KNDR labels for apps ("Schutzkennzeichen"), as well as guidelines like content warnings. The key points are: - The State supports youth protection via the USK. - Games receive an age rating from the USK to guide parents and protect minors against inappropriate games (age ratings). - Indication of a game's suitability is not censorship but rather guidance for consumers ("Indizierung"). - Non-compliant or unsuitable products can be banned due to violation of responsible youth protection standards. These include extreme violence, pornographic content, racism/anti-Semitism/homophobia/gender discrimination/suicidality/threats/information endangering life/dangerous play behaviors. - Ratings do not prevent sale but serve as orientation (not censorship). - The USK works with Gamescom 2025 to ensure ongoing and future-proof youth protection in Germany. It offers a safer environment through guidance on app usage, supports parents via resources like Ratgeber für Familien ("Family Guide"), advises companies about legal compliance related to games. - Companies can expect assistance from the USK regarding age ratings (USK), ESRB codes, PEGI/KNDR labels for apps (“Schutzkennzeichen”), and guidelines such as content warnings.
