USK, the video games rating board for Germany, has expanded its test criteria and will now take a range of "possible online risks" into account when classifying a game.
In a post on its website, the body said the new rules will come into effect on January 1, 2023 and apply to all submissions going forward.
USK will continue to rate games based on whether content is inappropriate for younger players, but now it will also consider the inclusion of purchasing options or online communications.
