What are platform Parental Controls?
Most platforms include parental controls with restrictions on purchasing, playtime, and content access. Epic also has its own built-in controls that work across all devices.
Epic Games
Epic's parental controls apply across Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and the Epic Games Store. They cover spending limits, chat restrictions, playtime limits, content filters, and activity reports.

Important: Epic's spending controls only apply to purchases made through Epic's own payment system. Purchases made through console stores (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam) are controlled separately by those platforms.
