  1. Online safety and privacy question


    Hello, I have original Xbox one, there are settings there for online safety and privacy. By default the profile is set to adult which is more sociable but because I do not really play games online I costumized it by disabling and blocking some permissions which allow others to look up your information, exc. I just wanna make sure that by doing so I didn't block mature content cause I definately don't want to censor anything in my games, I don't have kids so I want my games to be graphic and not restricted. So my question is, by tweeking some of those privacy settings, did I block some game content or not? I found a different setting for game restrictions and it says unrestricted, so I think I'm good right?

    :)

    Online safety and privacy question

    Hi! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community, not part of Microsoft. Hope you are doing well!

    With regards to your question, so long as you didn't block the maturity content part and you didn't change the date of birth of your account to a child then nothing to worry as only those you have disabled will be affected.

    There are some games like GTA V that is very strict when it comes to the maturity settings of an account and specially the date of birth. If you can play such games, meaning the date of birth of your account is correct and detected as adult and your settings are correct as well.

    I hope the information helps. Feel free to post back if you need more help and we will try with the best of our knowledge to assist.

    Kind regards,

    Ben

    OK so the date of birth can be found under my info page on the web right? So if all the games play, it means nothing is restricted right cause otherwise they wont play?

    Online Safety and Privacy setting question

    OK thanks, because as far as Online Privacy and Safety goes, I blocked most of it, so that the profile is more hidden and more private, but like you said this won't restrict game content right?
