Microsoft is back at it with another monthly update for the Xbox family of consoles, and as usual, this one brings some notable improvements that should make your experience that much better. These updates are available for both the Xbox One and the recently-launched Xbox Series X|S, and there s also some updates related to Xbox apps on other devices.

Microsoft plans Kids Mode for Microsoft Edge
Microsoft plans Kids Mode for Microsoft Edge

Microsoft plans to add a “Kids Mode” to the Microsoft Edge browser, with child-friendly themes and protected content, the company said on Tuesday.
In a somewhat unusual move, Microsoft didn’t announce Kids Mode as a feature that will be shipping soon. In fact, Microsoft announced Kids Mode as entering the company s daily “Canary” builds, typically the home for brand-new, somewhat untested code. Kids Mode will then enter the “alpha” testing phase as part of Microsoft’s “Dev” releases, then release as part of Edge’s stable code sometime in the future. It’s early enough that Microsoft hasn’t yet shared any screenshots of Kids Mode in action.

If you have a family group set up with your Microsoft Account and for Xbox, then you ll already know about some of the great features for controlling what your kids have access to. But one thing they may want to use is actually hidden behind a setting you might not know exists.
Crossplay.
This is specifically referring to cross-network play, that is, playing with friends outside the Xbox Live walls. When it comes to titles like Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons, it s perfectly possible for your kids to play with their friends on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, but to do so, you ll have to give them the magic permission first.

Get ready for your parents or partners to have a lot more power when it comes to getting you off the Xbox because the console’s new update lets other people remotely turn off your Xbox at certain times.
Growing up we all at one point had parents yelling at us from another room to get off our favorite video game console and now parents, or even your partner, can pause your screen time from the Xbox Family Settings app.
Xbox made the update on December 10th and once you “pause the console’s screentime” nobody can play it until you “un-pause” the console again.
