What games are restricted from my Child account?

Edited

Child accounts are designed to provide a safe and age-appropriate gaming experience. To achieve this, access to games is filtered using the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating system, which classifies games based on content suitability. 

How ESRB ratings affect Child accounts 

Child accounts are typically limited to games rated: 

  • ESRB E (Everyone) – Content is suitable for all ages 

  • ESRB E10+ (Everyone 10+)  - Games suitable for players ages 10 and older

Child accounts are restricted from accessing games rated: 

  • ESRB T (Teen) – May include violence, suggestive themes, or mild language 

  • ESRB M (Mature 17+) – Contains intense violence, strong language, or mature themes 

  • ESRB AO (Adults Only 18+) – Contains content intended strictly for adults 

Why these restrictions exist 

These limits are in place to: 

  • Protect younger players from age-inappropriate content 

  • Support parental guidance and control over media exposure 

  • Align with industry-standard content rating systems 

  • Ensure compliance with digital safety regulations 

Child accounts can still enjoy a wide library of games designed specifically for younger audiences without exposure to mature themes.
