Add downloaded game to exceptions list (xbox360/xbox live gold)

TonyPrandini · Apr 27, 2014

My son has a few games that I've allowed to be downloaded that exceed the parental controls I have in place. Some are at a higher rating and some are indie (unrated) games. Is there a way to add a downloaded game to the exceptions list? I know that if
it is a disc that is being used, after I enter my code, it gives me the option to always have this game available, but it doesn't give me that option for downloaded games. I'd rather not have to put in my code every time he wants to play it.

Thanks

:)

Download Xbox 360 games

You can easily download games from Xbox Live Games Marketplace. You can visit the Xbox Live Marketplace on your computer to find the games. If you are interested to download a game, you’ll have to add the game to your console’s download queue. The download will start automatically when your console connects to Xbox Live.

You can also download games from your console directly.

To do this, you must connect your console to Xbox LIVE by singing in to your profile.

You need to go to Games and then select Marketplace.

Select the game, add-on, or game demo that you want to download.

Press Confirm Download.

Your download will start instantly.

It seems that it may not be possible to add an indie game to an exception list since they are unrated and unrated is the highest level of restriction that the parental controls look out for. You could possibly disable the block function for unrated games,
however, that would disable a whole lot of the parental control functions.

I apologize if this isn't very helpful at all, but that's all I've really got.

I know that I am late to this thread, but has this question ever been answered? I am having the same issue; I can add disc games to my child's exception list, but not downloaded games.

Xbox backwards compatability for Xbox One, Xbox360, and Original Xbox vary on a per title basis.

For a comprehensive and up-to-date list of games that will work on your device, please check: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backward-compatibility

All games available on the Xbox marketplace will also be compatible with all systems, (with the exception of Kinect-only titles on Xbox One, which aren't compatible with other systems).

All titles provided as part of Games With Gold, Game Pass, and Ultimate are also compatible with Xbox One and Xbox S/X, (with Xbox360 and some Original Xbox titles working on Xbox360).

Please note that Original Xbox titles and some Xbox360 titles no-longer support online features or DLC.

Add someone to a Gold Family Pack

Notes

Only the primary account can add a member (secondary account) to a Gold Family Pack. If you’re adding an existing account, you’ll need the Windows Live ID and password of the account that you’re adding.
If the account that you want to add to your Family Pack is not stored on your console, you’ll need to

download the Xbox LIVE gamertag.
Existing Xbox LIVE accounts keep all Microsoft Points and gamerscores when you add them to the Gold Family Pack.

Console steps: Add someone to a Gold Family Pack

1. On your console, sign into Xbox LIVE with the primary account for the Gold Family Pack.

Go to Settings, and then select Family.

Select Add Family Member.

[table][tr][td] [IMG]

[/td][/tr][/table]

1. Under Your Gold Family Pack, select Available: Add Gold Family Member.

Note If you don’t see an ‘Available’ member, you may need to remove a member before adding a new member. The Gold Family Pack can have three secondary members.

Do one of the following:

Select an existing gamertag on your console.
Select Create New Profile.

[table][tr][td]

[/td][/tr][/table]

Follow the on-screen instructions.

- If you’re adding an existing Xbox LIVE account to your Family Pack, you’ll need the Windows Live ID and password for this account.

If you’re creating a new Xbox LIVE account, you’ll need a Windows Live ID. If you don't have one,
sign up for a free Windows Live account on your computer or a Windows Live ID will be created for you during the sign up process.

Complete the on-screen steps to add the member to the Gold Family Pack.

If you receive an error while adding a member to the Gold Family Pack, see
Troubleshooting Gold Family Pack for more information.

Notes

Once an account is added to the Gold Family pack, the secondary account becomes parentally controlled by the primary account. This change can limit the types of content an account can purchase or download on Xbox LIVE.
The final screen explains how existing Gold membership time is added to the Gold Family Pack. The Gold Family Pack receives one month of additional membership time for every two months of remaining Xbox LIVE Gold time. For example, if the secondary account
has six months remaining on their Xbox LIVE Gold Membership, three months are added to the Gold Family Pack membership.

Computer steps: Add someone to a Gold Family Pack

Go to the Family Center.
Click Add Family Member
Enter the email address for the family member’s Windows Live ID. If you don’t know a family member’s Windows Live ID, see

Manage your Windows Live ID for help.
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter their Windows Live ID password and add them to the family.

Note If you created a new Xbox LIVE account using the above computer steps, you’ll need to download this account to your Xbox 360 console. For information on how to do this, see

Move, delete, or download your Xbox LIVE gamertag.
