The new legislation aimed at protecting the younger generation on the internet will come into effect in March 2026.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has signed a law banning loot boxes in video games for those under 18. The new legislation, aimed at protecting youth on the internet, will come into effect in March 2026, reports Eurogamer.
According to the law, games containing loot boxes will be classified as "18+", and loot boxes will be prohibited in games with a rating below this age.
In 2023, the Netherlands proposed a complete ban on loot boxes, and in 2018, Belgium already introduced a similar ban, which led to the cessation of FIFA Points sales in the country.
