Time Limits on Specific XBox Games

RamsesMindwalkr · Jul 22, 2019

I was setting up time limits for one of my children yesterday and was taken to a screen that allowed me to select specific games on the XBOX and set time limits per game. He is asking for more time on that game and the link on the email does not work and
for the life of me, I cannot find the page that allows me to set these in my account now. Can anyone guide me to that settings page or has the link?

Update: I contacted Tech Support and they are also baffled. I sent them the email I got and they are escalating it up. It appears I accidentally reached a function that may not be available just yet. I will update this as I am updated.

Thanks

:)

Great so how do we resolve it? I have games that can't be used now because of time restrictions

Hey Ramses

Thank you for clarifying what you were seeking to do.

Unfortunately, there is no way to configure a specific game for screen time, there is only a way to set this up for specific devices such as PC and Xbox One consoles.

However, this is an excellent idea and I would implore you to
provide this feed back to our engineers so that we can provide this feature in the future.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

Ramese , you are spot on as I did the same thing and now have the same issue my kid is asking for more time while friends are here and I can't override my settings and I can't figure out how to add time to the game

Thank you for responding but those are not the links I was looking for. I get to those and they are all set. The settings I am looking for actually allows me to select individual games or apps and set a time limit individually. For instance, I selected Fortnite
and set it to 2 hours. All other games were left at "maximum allowed". I got a request to extend time in my email and that link does not even work so I am stumped.

RamsesMindwalkr,

Here’s how you can set screen time limits: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/security/set-screen-time-limits

Here’s how to grant permission to allow your child account to view content that is rated higher than the child account settings allow: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/security/grant-exception-child-content-limits

Hopefully one of these resources can help you with the issue you are experiencing.
