How do I set up parental controls?
Each Xbox One console has a range of safety features that let you control what kind of content your family members can access based on the content’s recommended age. Xbox One uses these age settings to control a child’s access to specifically rated games, movies, TV shows, and music. Content restrictions also control what your child can see and purchase in the Microsoft Store. You can also enable web filtering to determine what websites children can visit, as well as an “Ask a parent” option which enables parents to control purchases in the Microsoft Store. Find out more about Xbox One’s online safety and privacy settings.

How do I activate Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and online multiplayer?
You will receive a Games Pass Ultimate token in the box with your console. Use this token to activate Games Pass Ultimate; your membership starts from the date you activate the token.

Xbox All Access includes a monthly subscription to Game Pass Ultimate. What happens if I have an existing Xbox Game Pass and/or Xbox Live Gold membership when I purchase a console with Xbox All Access?
If you're already an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass member, any days remaining in your membership(s) will be converted to Ultimate at a conversion ratio when you redeem the monthly Ultimate membership and add it to your Ultimate membership up to a maximum of 36 months. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate memberships are limited to 36 months.
If you’re already an Ultimate member, wait until your existing membership has a prepaid balance that is less than 12 months before redeeming the 24-month Ultimate membership through Xbox All Access. You will be unable to redeem with more than 12 prepaid months of Ultimate.
To check your prepaid balance, go to your Xbox account. Note, once converted to Ultimate, Xbox Live Gold and other Game Pass memberships cannot revert. To find out more, visit the Xbox Game Pass page.
What happens to my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership if I return or cancel my Xbox All Access?
Games Pass is included in Xbox All Access for each month you stay connected for the first 24 months. If you delay activation, you will still receive 24-month access, provided you stay connected to All Access for 24 months.
If you redeemed the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate token prior to returning your Xbox All Access, the 24 months of Xbox All Access Ultimate will be removed from your account at time of return. Note, once converted to Ultimate, Xbox Live Gold and other Game Pass memberships cannot revert. To find out more, visit the Xbox Game Pass page.
