Use parental controls on your TV's Gaming Hub

The Game Rating lock lets you set an age limit in Samsung's Gaming Hub. Only games that fall within the chosen age range can be selected to view more information. Games that are blocked require your TV's PIN to see the info or access the game. 

Navigate to Game Activity & Options at the bottom of the Gaming Hub page and select Game Rating Lock. A menu appears where you will select the age range of your child. The games will be blocked based on the age range and the game's ESRB rating. Check out the ESRB website for more information about the different ratings.

Just like regular streaming and media apps on your Samsung TV, you can lock gaming apps on the Gaming Hub if you don’t want your children accessing certain apps.

1. Press Home to open the Home screen menu.
2. Navigate to Apps, and scroll down to App Settings.
3. Select the app you want, then select Lock or Unlock.

 

The default PIN is 0000. To change the PIN, navigate to Settings and then select General. Select System Manager, and then select Change PIN.

You can use the Xbox Game Pass app on the Gaming Hub to browse and play some of your favorite titles! And to make things even better, the Xbox Game Pass app uses the same parental controls as other Xbox services, such as an Xbox console. You can read up on additional information on Xbox’s family & online safety support page.
