Family video game database logo

The Family Video Game Database was unveiled today. Out of beta with close to 600 games, it offers parents and carers the information they need to make informed choices about video games and discover a wider range of experiences for their family.

After an influx of visitors when the beta version was featured on BBC Click and Breakfast TV, it has now launched in this finalized form to offer families and carers a unique way to understand the games their children are playing as well as discover new titles tailored for their family.

After 70,000 views during the beta phase, the database has a new streamlined user interface and readable layout. Each game is researched by a team of family experts and presented on a clean, concise page without jargon or advertising.

Ongoing support from Ukie and Parent Zone through 2020 will ensure work can continue improving and expanding the information it provides.

It offers the following unique features:
