console. Parental controls let you set restrictions on the
games children can play, when and how long they play,
whether or not they can chat, and more.
Each adult ( ) and child ( ) will need their own separate
accounts. When you create an account for a child, it’s
automatically linked to your account, creating a family. You
can set parental controls only for children in your family.
