Can I restrict EA Play games for a child

Hi, if I purchased an EA Play subscription for my child. Can I limit which games he can play from the catalogue, either by PEGI rating or by blocking specific games that I think are too old for him? He would be playing on a PC.

    Hi @mico1411 

    That is a good question, but I think it is dependent on the account that purchased the subscription as to what the limits are; you would likely need to create a child account.

    More info about that can be found here.

  • Hi @EA_Darko , thanks for the reply. I'm a non-gaming parent trying to work out a whole new world! 

    I might just have to just purchase EA Play and see what I can do. I'm thinking that a child account would restrict the game choice but wouldn't be able to purchase the EA Play subscription because of the spending restrictions. So I'll have to purchase EA Play using an adult account and then make him promise not to download anything over PEGI 12!

    Hey @mico1411 the best thing I can recommend is to try some of the games yourself or even to sit in and watch your son play. Playing online with friends and family is a great bonding experience and I've even got my mom playing the odd game and she's enjoyed them all bar Resident Evil 7 in VR which resulted in a console and TV nearly ending up on the floor.

    It is great fun to watch @mico1411 as there is nothing funnier than watching people freak out in VR.
