Ratings and Store Listing
August 7, 2026 at 08:42 AM
Initial version (2026-08-07): age ratings by territory, developer content description, platform feature labels, languages, and third-party agreement note
PUBG: Black Budget has not been released, so most of what is publicly known about how it will be classified and sold comes from its store listing rather than from a shipped product. That listing already carries age ratings for several territories, a set of platform feature labels, and a short content description written by the developers. The details below reflect the listing as it stood in August 2026 and are subject to change before launch.
The store listing displays the following age ratings by territory. Some are formal board classifications and others are generated from the developer's own content questionnaire, so they should be read as the ratings the storefront currently shows rather than as final certificates for the finished game.
Territory | Rating | Stated Content |
|---|---|---|
Europe | 16 | Violence |
Germany | 16 | Violence, drugs, coarse language |
South Korea | 19 | Violence |
Australia | M | Mature themes and violence, online interactivity and chat |
Taiwan | C15 | Violence |
Brazil | 14 | Inappropriate language, violence, drugs |
Indonesia | 18 | Tobacco and alcohol, horror, violence |
The developers describe the game's mature content as covering blood effects produced by firearms and melee weapons, and character death, after which the session ends and the player returns to the lobby. The description also notes that players may be attacked by other players or by hostile non-player entities, and that some of those creatures have grotesque designs intended to provoke fear or discomfort. That matches the PvPvE structure described elsewhere on the store page and the supernatural framing of The Anomaly.
The storefront lists the following capability labels for the game. These are the publisher's own declarations on the listing and are a useful early signal for how multiplayer will work, though none of them has been elaborated on in a dedicated announcement.
Feature | What It Indicates |
|---|---|
Multi-player | The game is built around play with other people rather than a solo campaign. |
PvP and Online PvP | Player-versus-player combat over the internet, consistent with the Contractor-versus-Contractor encounters in Gameplay. |
Co-op and Online Co-op | Cooperative play online, matching the squads of up to three players described in the store copy. |
Family Sharing | The title is flagged as eligible for the platform's library sharing feature. |
There is no listing entry for single-player, controller support, achievements, cloud saves, or trading cards. Those are simply absent rather than ruled out, which is normal for a title that has not reached a release build.
The store listing names four languages: English, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. The second Closed Alpha Test was announced with Turkish alongside those four, so the tested build has carried at least one language the store listing does not currently advertise. Test language coverage is documented in Closed Alpha and Playtests.
The listing states that the game requires agreement to a third-party end user licence agreement. The listing does not name the third party or say what the agreement covers, and the studio has not published its text, so nothing further should be inferred from it. Security and anti-cheat enforcement during testing is covered separately in Closed Alpha and Playtests.
No price has been listed and the release date is given as To Be Announced. The game is not marked as free to play, and no editions, pre-orders, or early access programme have been announced. For system specifications see System Requirements, and for the current release status see PUBG: Black Budget.
