Together we can keep kids safer on Xbox

At Xbox, we take our responsibility to society and the gaming community very seriously. We know players of all ages come to Xbox to have fun, and you deserve the reassurance that we have invested in the right security, safety and privacy measures that support all. The first step to keeping kids safe is to ensure a child account is setup for any young gamers in your family.


Create a child account

If you have children 13 or under who use an Xbox console, we encourage you to set up a child account for them. Features of properly setting up an account include managing a child’s gaming activities like screentime, spending limits, privacy and content settings and more.
