Parental controls for Xbox

Xbox consoles browse the web, stream video, and play online — and Microsoft Family Safety covers accounts, not the whole connection. Guardian-CORR filters at the network level: while an Xbox is connected to your protected home network, restricted categories can't load in Edge or any app, and schedules can cut late-night play automatically.

Guardian-CORR protects your Xbox while it is connected to your protected home network. Away from home — on cellular or another Wi-Fi network — the device uses its normal, unfiltered connection. For away-from-home coverage on phones, you can pair Guardian-CORR with the device's built-in controls.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything on the Xbox?▾

No. Filtering happens on the Guardian gateway, so the Xbox is protected as soon as it's connected to your home Wi-Fi — no app, no profile install.

Does it work when the Xbox is away from home?▾

No — Guardian-CORR protects the Xbox while it is connected to your protected home network. On cellular or another Wi-Fi network, it uses its normal connection.

Can my child turn the protection off from the Xbox?▾

Not while at home. The rules live on the gateway, not the device — there's nothing on the Xbox to remove, reset, or sign out of.

Protect every Xbox in your home

Plug in the gateway, create a profile, and every screen in the house is protected.
