Parent Verdict

The shooting is constant but stylized — no blood, and eliminated players simply teleport away. The real issues are open voice chat with strangers, where kids can hear genuinely toxic language, plus heavy pressure to buy V-Bucks for skins and battle passes. With voice chat restricted to friends and spending limits set, most 12-year-olds handle it fine.
