Microsoft Store - IARC age rating system

Hello,



Thank you for publishing your traditional desktop app to the Microsoft Store!

Partner Center has rolled out the IARC age rating system, a global rating and age classification system, for EXE and MSI apps. With IARC, you complete a single questionnaire about the content in your app during the app update submission on Partner Center and the IARC system will automatically assign regional and international age rating certificates to the Store listing for you.



Why is this needed?

This is required to aid customers in determining which apps are appropriate to download and to enhance our family safety features. The new Microsoft Store will be generally available soon and age ratings are required for EXE or MSI apps before it launches. Microsoft Store will only distribute apps that have an age rating at and after launch.

Lol - and if you get knocked out on the 25th, wanna bet that they make it damned near impossible to get back on the store prior to the Win 11 launch date?
