Xbox

Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S have master parental controls which will override your NOW Parental PIN.

If you find you can't watch certain movies or shows, you might need to change the parental controls on your Xbox to restore access. Find out how to change the parental controls on your Xbox

You also have the option to change your family filter settings. This will block any images or content that's rated above your preferred settings.

PlayStation

The parental controls for PS4 and PS5 don't affect your NOW viewing. If you have parental controls set on your PlayStation, you'll still need to set your parental controls on your NOW account to your desired level.

 


Payment PIN

This helps you control who can make purchases using the payment method saved on your account. Your Payment PIN is automatically turned off when you sign up.
