In online gaming, BR is sometimes used as a tag by players to mark themselves as being residents of Brazil. It can also simply mark the player as speaking Portuguese as their primary language.

This is usually done to make it easier for Brazilians to find each other in games dominated by English speakers. It's rather difficult to play with people you have trouble understanding, and Brazilians tend to be a minority.

It should also be noted that the language barrier is a frequent source of friction in games played by people of varying primary languages. Many Portuguese speakers will not use this tag so as not to become a target of less tactful players' mischief.

Some examples of this tag in use:

  • Katie_BR
  • Samson-BR-
  • {BR}jackthewanderer
