How to properly set game age restriction for child

Dat Tran2 · Nov 9, 2022

I have Xbox game pass for PC for my son. I need to restrict game rating for a 10 year old. I used family settings to add a child account. When I login with the child account on the PC it does not have Xbox game pass access. How do I restrict the main account then? I don't play game, he does. Thanks

I see, do you have “ask to buy” enabled for your son?
If yes, you can try disabling it temporarily and purchase the subscription in that way

But you can also try redeeming a PC game pass code on his account.
If you prefer to do that, you can get a prepaid card using the closest retailer in your city, or online using Amazon, Walmart or similar retailers

I didn't know a child could hold an account. I'll cancel my account and subscribe with his account then. Thanks

Hi, yes. You can gift or purchase game pass on a child account
But yes , this is the best option to avoid that your son plays games not suited for his age
