Upcoming changes to age ratings in Australia and Vietnam
May 21, 2026
Starting June 18, 2026, in accordance with local regulations, age ratings on the App Store will be updated in Australia and Vietnam.
Australia
To comply with Australia’s guidelines for the classification of computer games, the 15+ age rating will no longer be available on the Australia App Store. Apps currently rated 15+ with the following content descriptors will be updated to 16+:
- Unrestricted web access
- Frequent medical or treatment information
- Loot boxes
The new rating will appear on your app’s product page in Australia. Please ensure your responses to the age rating questionnaire in App Store Connect accurately reflect your app’s content.
Vietnam
To align with Article 38 of Vietnam Decree 147, apps available on the App Store in Vietnam will require a region-specific age rating. Based on your age rating questionnaire responses in App Store Connect, your app will receive one of four ratings (00+(all ages), 12+, 16+, or 18+) which will appear on its product page in Vietnam. Additional details, including age rating values, will be available in App Store Connect and App Store Connect Help on June 18.
