Screen time on Xbox One doesn't work on Fifa 19

Hello ArunA,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns your child bypassing screen time limits on an Xbox One console.

Our suggestion here, is there any possibility that your child has been creating accounts on the console, or signing into the adult account therefore the console recognizes that the accounts are playing together which would then bypass the set screen time?

Please attempt to follow our how to add or remove a Microsoft account on Xbox One support article,
as this will allow you to view all accounts that are currently existing on the console.

Try this for us and then let us know the results.

Best wishes!

Sorry are you saying Fifa does not require you to sign in and so you can bypass the screen time limit?

I tried setting a passkey for the adult account, it still lets him play Fifa when logged out.

Really poor this is, what is the point of having screen time limit and letting apps override it.

Fifa does require you to sign in so you can bypass the screen time limit. It only starts when you actually sign in with that account.

Here are some troubleshooting resources:

• Set up screen time limits for your child
• Change your sign-in preferences on your Xbox One console for the Adult Profile
  • (Recommendation: create a passkey or lock down the adult profile)
• How to change your Microsoft account password
  • (Recommendation : to help ensure only the adult has the password for account)

Hope this helps. Let us know.

I have tried it myself and it’s easy. When the message comes (in Fifa for example) that his time is up and he is logged out, he just needs to press ’A’ repeatedly answering the Fifa messages that pops up and eventually a new game can be started. Other games
are not possible to play when time is up, only Fifa.

What do you mean by circumvent time limits by setting console to ”offline”?

Absolutely not creating new accounts or signing into my account because he cant play the NBA game as when he tries to screen time kicks in but when he tries to play FIFA it allows him
