Xbox consoles have in built safety features that let you control what content your family members can access based on the content’s age rating.

• Age settings control a child’s access to specifically rated games, movies, TV shows, and music
• Content restrictions control what a child can see and purchase in the Microsoft Store
• Web filtering determines what websites children can visit
•  “Ask a parent” option enables parents to control purchases in the Microsoft Store.
