These age ratings can be legally enforced.

Who is the ESRB?
ESRB Ratings are the Entertainment Software Ratings Board which let parents and consumers know what's in their content.
They cover media from games to films, to Tv series and inform people whether this content is right for them.
ESRB prove to be particularly helpful for parents who are looking at buying content for their children.
However, their ratings can be legally enforced if a child is trying to purchase a physical video game at a shop too.

What did the ESRB Rate Apex Legends?
Apex has been rated T (Teen 13+).
This is due to the following factors...
- Content Descriptors for Blood
- Content Descriptors for Violence
- Interactive Elements that include Users Interact (meaning players can communicate online if they choose)
- In-Game Purchases (meaning the game offers the ability to exchange real-world currency for in-game currency or items)
The official webpage for Apex Legends rating then goes on to say...
"Many parents may be interested in the fact that Apex Legends is a first-person, team-based shooter, however the visuals are highly stylized, giving it a futuristic and unrealistic vibe"
