An adults-only rating category for computer games has come into effect across the nation.

The new R18+ category will make it illegal for people under 18 to buy, hire or view any games given the rating, while it will be illegal for retailers to sell R18+ games without the new markings.

The R18+ rating is given to games with content considered to be high in impact.

South Australian Acting Premier John Rau, a long-standing campaigner for the R18+ classification, welcomed the new scheme.
