Age checks are implemented in apps featuring content related to shooter video games to ensure that users are of an appropriate age to engage with potentially intense or violent material. Many shooter games include realistic depictions of combat, gun violence, and mature themes that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
By verifying a user’s age, developers and platforms can comply with regulations and rating systems, such as the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) or PEGI (Pan European Game Information), which help parents and guardians make informed decisions about the content their children access. Age restrictions also serve to promote responsible gaming and prevent exposure to themes that could be inappropriate or unsettling for younger players.
