Manage Parental Controls

After you sign into your child’s Epic Games account using the Epic Account Portal, you can set or modify your younger player’s Parental Controls and you can sign up to receive daily email reports when changes are made to your child’s Epic account. Settings can also be modified in Fortnite. Additionally, there are Parental Controls available on gaming platforms such as PlayStation®, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™, and mobile devices, and we provide information below on how to manage platform-level settings.
