Steam’s listing for SCP: Secret Laboratory does not show a verified ESRB or PEGI age rating. It does, however, include a developer-provided mature-content disclosure for strong violence, firearms used against armed and unarmed players, blood, horror, and potentially disturbing imagery. That disclosure describes content; it is not itself a formal age classification.

Is that an ESRB or PEGI rating?
No verified ESRB or PEGI category appears on the Steam listing researched for this answer. Steam distinguishes content-preference warnings from age gates tied to regional rating-board entries: a warning about violence or other content does not, by itself, establish a board-assigned age category. Steamworks explains the difference between content warning screens and age gates.
The ESRB says ratings may appear on physical packages, digital storefronts, advertisements, social media, and review websites, and provides a search tool for game ratings. The sources checked did not establish an SCP: Secret Laboratory ESRB entry, so the Steam content disclosure should not be read as one. Ratings and storefront information may vary by territory or change over time.

What does the “13+” claim mean?
A Steam Community discussion dated May 28, 2018 includes a moderator-marked response saying “We Accept 13+” and referring to an age set within Steam. That is a dated community-forum statement, not an ESRB or PEGI classification and not evidence of a current Northwood Studios policy. Read the Steam Community discussion.

Use the content disclosure to assess the material that may matter to you or your household: gun violence, blood, horror, and potentially disturbing imagery. The available evidence describes those contents but does not establish a universal recommended minimum age. If you need a formal age category for a particular country, check the current regional storefront or the relevant rating-board database.
