Parental Safety FAQ

How do I manage screen time on modern consoles?

Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S all feature built-in parental control mobile applications. You can set daily time limits that notify the player or automatically suspend play when the limit is reached.

What are age ratings and should I rely on them?

ESRB (North America) and PEGI (Europe) ratings provide age suggestions based on game content. Always check the descriptive descriptors (e.g. "Mild Fantasy Violence", "User Interact") to make an informed decision.
