Xenoblade Chronicles X’s PEGI Rating Sparks 'Sex' Confusion

The release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch has sparked curiosity among fans due to its unique PEGI rating, which now includes a "Sex" label that was absent in the original Wii U version. The game maintains a PEGI 12 rating but adds this new classification alongside "Violence" and "Bad Language," prompting speculation about what changes might have occurred. Although players initially expressed confusion and humor regarding the addition, it appears that the label reflects the presence of mild sexual innuendos rather than extreme content changes. For instance, lines like "I'm going in for a quickie" can be found among the character dialogue, indicating the inclusion of suggestive language. This update seems more about evolving standards in rating systems than a significant alteration to the game's content.
