How we decided on Hogwarts Legacy

Our safety checks

Hogwarts Legacy passes all 7 safety checks. We apply the same strict rules to every app and game.

1. Could we confirm every fact?

   ✓ Yes

   Every fact below links to its source. Rule 1

2. Is your child old enough for the official ratings?

   ✓ Yes

   Rated 13+ by ESRB (US) and Common Sense Media. Our minimum age is 13. Rule 2

3. Can you stop strangers contacting your child?

   ✓ Yes

   It’s single-player only, with no online play or chat, so no one can contact your child through the game. Rule 3Source

4. Is every risk under control once settings are on?

   ✓ Yes

   No risk stays high once every control is on. Rule 4

5. Is its child-safety record clear?

   ✓ Yes

   We searched for regulator, government and court action over child safety against Warner Bros. Games in October 2026 and found none. Rule 5

6. Can you stop all spending?

   ✓ Yes

   Extras are bought from the console or PC store, and every console lets parents restrict spending. Nintendo’s parental controls are one example. Rule 6Source

7. Is everything checked before children see it?

   ✓ Yes

   The game is made by Warner Bros. Games. On PC, free player-made extras (mods) are reviewed by CurseForge’s moderators before players can download them. Rule 7Source
