The game contains frequent realistic violence and some language, as reflected in its M rating. The narrative may present a simplified and potentially biased geopolitical perspective, characteristic of Cold War-era spy thrillers. While the game lacks modern monetization and social risks, the competitive multiplayer mode could expose players to toxicity, and the representation of women and ethnic diversity is limited. Some violence is directed at defenceless targets.
